Has detailed function diagrams of 43 different ways to drive the moon disc in a british style tall case clock. Written as a "guide" to restorers facing a movement with missing or damaged parts of the moon/date train. Little theory or history, just many different examples documented neatly and completely. Many line drawings. Glossary.
