this Time keeper there is the greatest care taken to
avoid friction as much as can be, by the wheels
moving on small pivots, and in ruby-holes, and high
numbers in the wheels and pinions." The account
continues with a careful description of the workings
of the timepiece .There are many other interesting
pieces, including a good advert for on Wisbech Races,
others for quack cures, threatened insurrection in
Hereford etc etc.
