Th e s e pages m a y c o rn e a s a re v e l a ti o n to th o se who hav e t h e i m p re s s i o n th a t th e o nl y tools needed for watch repair are a loupe, and a pair of pliers. screwdrivers, Watch repair is precision work and demands preci si o n t ools . S k il l a n d k n o w l e d g e a l o n e a re n o t e nough, es pec i a l l y i f y o u i n te n d to w ork fo r p r of it . In the olddays, watchmakers made mo-qt of theirtools. Some stilldo. There is less need to do so now, since most tools are generally available at moderate prices. Indeed, dollarwise watchmakers realize it is better to spend th e i r t im e t oday i n p ro fi ta b l e w a tc h re p a i r th a n at ar duous an d u n n e c e s s a ry to o l m a k i n g.

The tools de sc ribed herein include the basictools rnost likely to be acquired as well a s so rne ot her s y o u s h o u l d k n o w a b o u t. Not every tool can be cove red in the limited space, Th o se des c r ibed s h o u l d b e c o n s j .d e re d o n l y as representative. No attempt has been made to compare the merits of. one manufacturer's i te m a gains t anot h e r' s . Al l th a t i s i n te n d ed is to give you an understanding of what a tool sh o u l d do.

If youare goi ng to have frequent use f or it, and can do better work with it than wi.thout i t, you probabl y shoul d b* y i t. B y l i m it ing your first purchas e s to the tools you will habitually use, you avoid tying up money in special purpose or limited-use tools. These w i l l corre l ater w hen you see the nee d f or more speed or more convenience. A thi rd consi derati on i s w hat you can afford, It i s sound advi ce to buythe best tools, i f you can. Thi s rnay not be possi bl e i n your si tuati on. S tudents, e speci al l y, must of t en economize. If this is true of you, you should have a good understandi ng of w hat tool s ar e used for. You can then more readily decide where you can hold off buying a tool, or can use a less expensive one, and where it would be a fal se economy to buy a cheap tool . For i nstance, i t i s no parti cul ar di sadvantage t o use aninexpensive set of screw drivers while learning. Youcanbuy a better set later at no great cost. But it would be folly to buy a cheap truing caliper or similar tool where accuracy demands a precision tool of high quality. As afurtherhelpfor those who must econornize while iearning, this text suggests some substi tutes for certai n tool s, enabl i ng you t o postpone thei r purchase unti l you can af f or d them, These substitutes make u$e of other tools you are likely to have or other methods for doing the work. Such make shift s are usual l y adequate for trai ni ng, but should be repl aced w i th the genui ne arti cl e the f ir st chance you have, In any event, don't force any tool beyond the l i mi ts for w hi ch i t was i ntended.

Even so, the task of selecting tools is not easy. Manufacturer's catalogs present a te mp ti ng but b e w i l d e ri n g a rra y . The ever-present question is "Which tools should I b u y f ir s t ? ' A f e w s u g g e s ti o n s m a y h el p determine the answer.

V fh e n i t c o m e s t o o r d e r i n g m a t e r i a l s r 1 r o u shoul d fi nd these pages of consi derabl e help. Typi cal methods for orderi ng and the type of i nformati on requi red are i ncl uded to g uide you i n getti ng the exact materi al you want . Vague orders are a great expense, both for you and your suppl y house. They can m ean extra correspondence, time lost and dissatisfi.ed customers. If you realize this, you will understand the i mportance of thi s trai ning and the val ue of thi s secti on of the text,

First, consider your airn in watchmaking. Hobby? Or career? Obviously the needs for both are not the same, The professional ordinarily requires more tools than the amateur. This is not only because he handles

It ordinarily takes some years of practical experi ence to acqui re the i nformati on th at is presented so compactly here. I hope, therefore, that you will use these pages to advan* tage in speeding yCIur progress.

BOILING

CUP AND BOTTLE

When ever it is found necessary to remove shellac from any part of a watch, such as the pallet fork, roll-er, etc. , the recommended method is to boil the part in alcohol. The illustrated bottle with hole cut in cap is used to contain the part and alcohol (fratf full will be sufficient). A small amount of water is placed in the boiling pan, the bottle placed in the pan and heat applied until the alcohol boils sufficiently to dissolve the shellac. A low flame, such as an alcohol lamp, should be used to rninimize the chance of igniting the alcohol fume s. Alcohol is highly inflammable.

All purrcht,^s suppliedu'ith lllOSELEY Staking Tools are correctly gauged :rnd gr:lduated . . . you are assured of the right punch in thu right c:orrrbinations, Punchtls al:e uniformly cut from steel rod b1' our Su-iss Type Autornatic Screrv Machines. Then they gio through ir series of hand oper:ltions rvhich insure exactness and trrlecision. . . including lapping and polishing punch faees to a rrrirrerrlinish. Hole punches are drilled dead center, an operation that u'ill nr.rtvary from one punch to the next. With Moseley, as u'itlr our other staking tools, :rny punch found defective in workrrr:rnshiprrill be replaced free of eharge, However, the best of pun<:hescan be broken occasionally . , so be surr to use the right sizr"punches for all u'olk. And always use a brass hammer. for staking so you will not flntten thr: he:adof the punch, as I'or.l might rvith a steel harnmer.

ALt PUNCHES NUMBE.RED Al[ punches supplied with Moseley are nurnbered for quick idrrn, tification. For instarnce, if a punch number 822, a ruund faeerl hole punch, is used to spread the shoulder of the balance staff, the companion punch for riveting the same staff is number A22, n ffat faced puneh, found in the same relative position on the opposite side of the case. This systern, found only in WATCHCRAFT and MOSELSY Staking Tools, eliminates tedious sezrrching for the right punch each time.

_ STURDYCONSTR,UCTION ACCURACY The Moselcy Staking ?ool is completely chromium plated, giving tht: tool an attractive appearanee, the first thing you look for in your staking tool. It is designed so punches can be reversed, inserted in frame and used as stumps. The frame is cast in one piece, giving you a rrrgged, sturdy tool that will stand up under continuous usag:e. This is very important, since a sfaking tool is a long time investment. You want it to last - . , stund' construction is as important as accuracy. And both are emphasized in the Moseley Staking Tool. The frame is relieved so punches can be easily inserted and removed . . . so any watch parts driven out through die plate drop clear of frame. The punch guide is equipped with a friction sleeve which holds punches in any position. A1l Moseley Staking Tools are drilled for 120 punches and 30 stumps. Thus you can add punchee and stumps to the smaller sets at :rny tirne.
