Chapter 168 December 2004 meeting was on four glass torsion clocks (plastic also!).  Quite a range of these clocks was displayed, ranging from pre WW1 to the 1970's with very high quality to the more simple varieties.  All very much of interest tracing the development of this style.  No examples of 4-glass torsion clocks between WW1 and WW2 have been sighted, do they exist at all, or was the style resurrected only after WW2?  Our meetings have a major theme, a workshop item - this time how not to use Brasso on 4 glass cases, show and tell, restoration projects and a mystery clock.  A very enthusiastic evening.  Click on the pictures for a larger view
