Hello,

 

What is the best way to get hold of an article from ME 15th July and 19th August 1983 about wheel crossing by J Malcolm Wild?

 

Also an article about a  One year Clock by W Botton to a Claude Reeve design put out as a Model Engineer series started 3rd Aug 1984?

Hi There

Try The Toolbox.

They stock a wide range of back numbers of Model Engineer at very reasonable cost.

With regard to wheel crossing, you might want to stretch the budget a good deal by purchasing the very comprehensive hard-back book authored by J. Malcolm Wild himself entitled Wheel and Pinion Cutting in Horology (ISBN 1-86126-245-0)

 

Yes of course, it is a lot more expensive than a couple of back issues but then it contains far more information.

I have got the book by J Malcolm Wild, just looked it up and sure enough the info is just what I was looking for—thanks for prompting me!  Ordered the ME back issues to look at the year clock so that is another one under way.

Many thanks to the forum!

I have written up a technique for crossing out gear wheels using a vertical milling machine and a rotary table.  If you want a copy I will E-mail you one.  Follow the instructions and you get a coconut every time.
