Meeting/Workshop Activity
by Stan and Bob
Mondays program will be on the subject of watch cases. All aspects will be covered and will run the gamut
from pocket to wrist watches.
Case opening, cleaning, polishing, stem removal and associated problems
will be covered. Members are especially encouraged to bring cases and/or communicate specific problems to Stan or I via
email before the meeting so we can be better prepared to offer solutions.
Warm regards,
Bob

Tech Question for the next meeting:
A very strange Escape Wheel with a internal spring:
From the Message Board
I'm servicing an Elliott
time only bracket clock with a movement similar to that of a carriage clock. The movement is very good quality English make
and the platform is a 7 jewell French make. The escape wheel has a feature I haven't seen before and I wondered if anyone
could enlighten me?
******************************************************
From the Pres.
I want to thank Dave Booth for his Re-pivoting Demonstration at the May 11 meeting and for signing
up as a member of HAM afterwards.
A exceptional video was shown on Pocket Watch Case Making. I'll have it at the next meeting if you want
to see it again.
Please Welcome Andy Alendschoen, Clock Repairer, the next time you see him. I think we may have another new HAM member
!
On a sad note for us, Dave & Patricia Hannemann will be moving in August to South Carolina. He has always been
there for us running the Secretary's job perfectly. We might still see him at a couple of meetings so be sure to wish him
well.
" Dave, ya did Good !! " and Thank You from Me.
