May RevOlutiOnixc Watch Making.


a resident of Providence. Il. l.. has
done u most ingenious thing and one
which. II his invention proves as prac.

opinion It will. may revolutionize the
making of watch and clock move.
ments.N. NJ. Saati has succeeded. after
years Of application. in dcvising and

world. mechanism for recording nc.
culatc time. which Is applicable to
watch or clock usage, which Is so
simple that 1t contains, besides the
usual balance wheel and the main.
spring barrel, but one wheel.
Its primary advantages, as claimed.
are obviously simplicity. economy of
construction. accuracy, ease of repair
and surprising longevity. for 1t is ar.
gucd that there Is no friction ut any
point.
The invention dispenses entirely with
the ordinary train of gearing between
the actuating spring. or weight. and
the cscapcment wheel. simplifying ana
chcapcniny the construction of the
operating mechanism of watch or
clock. and consists In the employment
Of spiral groove. or worm. and suit.
able engaging members. for impartiny
the desired rotary movement to the
cscapcment wheel.
1t also consists In the combination
with the cscapemcnt wheel of an i'm.
proved device for reducing the rate or
movement between the axle of the
escapcment wheel and the minute
or hour hands. and an improved CON.
