One for the watchmakers...
A common problem with antique parts is
that whatever identification they had has been lost over time. A box
of random parts has little value if they can not be identified.
There
were some momentary interruptions in the availability of the Elgin
production data website as I updated it with a new feature. There is
now a tool for looking up and identifying unknown balance staffs by
their dimensions.
[UPDATE: I corrected this URL, sorry...]
http://home.elgintime.com:8080/elgintime/StaffLookup
There are a handful of makes I have yet to include, but will soon. The data will also improve otherwise, over time. The database includes about a thousand balance staff measurements.
