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.

    • @JohnR725 has pointed out many times that the Swiss don't care about amplitude, the timekeeping is the most important.  Give yourself a  pat on the back, great beat error and timekeeping, nothing to be disappointed about. 
    • I'm bothered but I agree he's a busy man and I don't want to bother him.  In the meantime, we really do need to have other ways of contacting each other  
    • This is as complicated as epilame, too many unknowns. The life expectancy in the UK is circa 80, so most people from 1944 or earlier are dead.  Assume they had children at circa 20, they died in 2004. Their children started selling 1944 watches in 2004, so pre-1944 watches must be getting more rare.   It doesn't work though because as you stated some were sold as tat, but since watch prices have increased people have decided to sell when they may not of done in the past. 
    • I was wondering whether anyone could assist with some questions I have about my latest acquisition, which is a two train ‘Bravingtons Renown’ mantel clock - Pics attached I have done some reading about Bravingtons and believe they sourced movements from various suppliers, so I wondered whether anyone recognises this one. I have stripped and cleaned the movement and the clock is now running well, but there are a couple of dodgy brass springs that I would like to replace. I haven’t found anything suitable searching the internet so I wondered does anyone know of a supplier that might help. Last question is about the veneer on the case, it is generally in reasonable condition but there are a couple of patches on the top where the veneer has lifted. So far, I have tried to reactivate the existing adhesive by heating from below and above with a hair drier, then clamping for a day or two. It has improved slightly but the bulge is still visible. I’d be grateful for any advice if anyone has dealt with this sort of repair before.
    • Hi some pictures o& the movement and case would be appreciated so we can ascertain what the problem is you are having in fitting the movement.   Thank you.
