Reasons For Legislation
From Our Readers

The above photos by Mr. J. E. Coleman, American Horologist staff photographer, reveal an unnecessary and disgraceful piece of work. The watch was sent in by Mr. George Rohr of Kalamazoo, Michigan, who explained the watchmaker who did the work knew better and had a good reputation. 

Mr. Charles Vosecek, Berwyn, Ill., found this mainspring in a fine watch. 

The balance in the same watch utterly ruined by loading and fitting screws.

At right from Mr. W. A. Gruen of Amarillo, Texas, we receive this example where winding wheel screw was broken in arbor and some botcher soft soldered the wheel on. 

The photos at left are additional proof of our need for finer workman.

These examples were submitted by Mr. J. E. Coleman of Nashville, Tenn.

Lets clean up our profession.
