Comprehensive, richly illustrated Dictionary of thousands of Horological Terms,mainly rewritten in 1907, and sligtly amended in 1915. Here in 1993 reprint by the Antique collectors Club of the 1976 Bonanza edition. Obviously not up to date on late 20th century additions to horological technology, but hard to beat for its thoroughness and clarity explaining the traditional terminology. Also in passing gives the French and German translations of the terms.
