May Revolutionize Watch Making.


A resident Of Providence, r. T., has
done a most ingenious thing and one
which, If his invention proves as prac-
teal as expert judges are of the
opinion It will. may revolutionize the
making of watch and clock nov
ments. n. NJ. Saati has succeeded, after
years of application, in devising and
has patented in all the countries of the
world, a mechanism for recording ac-
curate 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
gued that there is no friction at any
point.
The invention dispenses entirely with
the ordinary train of gearing between
the actuating spring, or weight, and
the escapement wheel, simplifying and
cheapening the construction OF the
operating mechanism of a watch OR
