Wind Watches by Motor.

While the winding Of ones watch
would seem to call for only a small
amount of energy. it assumes a eigni1-
cant aspect when multiplied several
hundred times, as in the instance of a
watch-repairing concern in New York
city, part of whose work it is to wind
700 or more watches each day. To IA
cilitate the work the firm uses an cleo
trio motor, which drives a small, felt
lined socket through friction drive. Il
is only necessary to start the motor
and hold the stem Of the watch against
the felt-lined socket to wind the time
piece. When the watch is wound the
frightened spring overcomes the pres
sure between the motor pulley and the
fraction disk, with the result that slip
page takes place. Simple as this cleo
trio matchmaking equipment is. it has
replaced several men formerly re-
quired for the work.
