Modern methods in horology

Hood, Grant · 1904 · Kansas City, Mo. : Kansas City Jeweler and Optician · 126 pictures

A trade manual on watchmaking and repair by Grant Hood, published in 1904 at Kansas City for jewelers, horologists, and apprentices at the bench. Halftone photographs isolate single watch parts — mainsprings, fusee cones, balance wheels, pinions, chucks — against black or plain grounds, giving designers grainy circular machine forms and high-contrast object studies.
