Hi If you plan to do any more of these clocks the book is a must it will save hours of head scratching. These 400 day clocks look simple but are difficult setting up.  The setting tool although not essential makes the job easier.

I got my self an old copy of the book from ebay to day so I can help members with s/springs for these clocks today. Should be here next week.

A photo is handy, but its not a 1:1 copy. The book is really good because you literally can use the picture of the suspension spring to set up your own by laying the spring on the page and see if it has exactly the same dimensions. I am planning to buy this book just have to prioritize because there are many things I want to buy and sometimes I am buying things I was not planned to. :)

everyone beat me to it, the 400 day clock book is excellent,  I too have it as i picked up an anniversary clock last year that needed a new spring as the brocante shop owner spun the weights and knackered the spring.

The book is invaluable and as has been said is a must for repairing these clocks, as for a 1 to 1 picture i do not think that will be possible on the forum via a picture. 

What exactly are you trying to work out from the picture mate?

Hi, I want to have the exact measures of the suspension spring and how to set it up. As far as I was told mms do count. If somebody would be able to scan the page with a printer maybe it would be 1:1, but its not superimprotant I think. There are so many things to do that I can wait till the book arrives.

If you can look at the pictures that have been posted, find the one of your plates then from that you can see what number spring you need from the other pictures. Then onto cousins and they will have the exact brand new spring with end fittings. That’s how I have mine.
