The pocket IN which one carrtes

rho kind of watch chain or fob used
have a more important effect on the
Uniformity Of watch's rate than Is
gen erafly realized The temperature
OF rhe watch in different pockets will
sary considerably and the amount OF
motion or Jar to which the watch
would be subjected would differ. For
instance a watch carried m rhe up
per coat pocket would generally be
at a lower temperature and would be
more frequently disturbed, as well as
being held in various positions more
irregularly than in other pockets.
In a large pocket the watch IS apt

holding 1t upright. Perhaps the best
method TO prevent a watch turning

watch cannot turn in this II OF the
