- Entries cover a count-wheel strike fault, twenty-four pegged pivot holes, and a brass bush practiced first on scrap.
Field notes
The entries follow particular faults from observation through attempted repair, including a count-wheel strike that drifted out of step with the hands. One movement-cleaning note records photographs of every side and twenty-four pivot holes pegged until the wood came out clean; another describes fitting a brass bush after practicing on scrap. The author also documents an early mistake with spray oil and its consequences.
