Description

The Principles of Mr. Harrison's Time Keeper: With Plates of the Same is a book written by John Harrison in 1767.

The book includes detailed descriptions of the various components of the timekeeper, such as the balance wheel, escapement, and pendulum. It also contains illustrations and plates that show the inner workings of the device. The Principles of Mr. Harrison's Time Keeper is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of timekeeping and navigation, as well as those interested in the development of precision mechanical devices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
