Summary, etc. The George F. Cresap Watchmaking Student's Notebook is a three-hole binder containing both typewritten and manuscript documents from George F. Cresap's time as a watchmaking student at the Houston School of Horology in 1947. These documents consist mainly of test questions and answers, class notes, and technical hand-outs, all of which treat watchmaking theory and aspects of repair work. A set of forms record watchmaking work Cresap did for clients under the supervision of his instructors. Also included is a letter from Bulova in 1973 with Cresap's test results for formal certification as a Bulova Accutron technician.
