Sec. 1E9 - Gauging bg the Metric Sgstem
The metric system was rendered Iegal for all
transactions in the United States by an Act of
Congress, approved July 28, 1866, and is now
legal or obligatory in all commercial countries.
In many parts of the world including Europe,
more metric measurements are in use than any
other system.
The metric unit of length for watchmakers
is the millimeter, or one thousandth of a meter,
and this is being used more and more in the
gauging of watch parts and material. One inch
equais almost exactly 25,4 millimeters.
The diameters of pivots are gauged in hun-
fuedths of e millimeter as are the holes in
jewels. The outside diameters of balance jewels
and train jewels are gauged in tenths of a
millimeter while roller jewels are gauged in
hundredths of a millimeter. All faney watch
glasses or crystals are gauged in tenths of a
millimeter and many manufacturers of round
ones are also gauging their products in tenths
of a millimeter.
Ttrere are several types of metric gauges
that are used for different purposes, such as
the pivot gauge divided into hundredths of a
millimeter; vernier slide caliper for inside and
outside diameters, combined with a depth or
shoulder gauge, measuring in tenths of a milli-
meter; the degree type of gauge, or spring cali-

set of tools.
Sec. 190 - The Metric fuIicrometer Caliper
In figure 147 is shown a popular type of
metric micrometer caliper. The spindle D is
attached to the thimble B and they turn as one
piece, the spindle passing through the sleeve C.
The sleeve C is fastened to the frame E and
remains as a fixed part of the frame. Part of
the spindle is threaded to fit threads inside the
sleeve. When the thimble is revolved to the
left it causes the spindle to recede from the
anvil A and when turned the other way the
spindle advances toward the anvil.
The piece to be measured is held between
the anvil A and the end of the spindle D. The
spindle is then brought against the piece by
turning the thimble R. This should only be
turned as far as it will go with a light pressure.
Memorize these parts:
A-Anvil
B-Thimble
C-Sleeve
D-Spindle
E-Frame
The amount of the opening is indieated by
the lines and figures on the thimble and sleeve.
The thread on the concealed part of the spiudle
is of such a pitch that one turn advances the
spindle and with it the thimble, one half or
50/100 of a millimeter. The short vertical lines
on the sleeve correspond to the pitch of the
thread. The upper series of these lines indi-
cated by N touch the horizontal line L as shown
in the drawing at figure 149 and indicate the
millimeters. The lower short vertical lines at
P are half way between the upper lines N and
indicate the half millimeters. Every fifth line
of the upper series is longer than the rest and
numbered, 0, 5, 10 etc. These numbers indicate
the number of millimeters when the thimble
is opened to this point.
The beveled edge of the thimble at M is
marked with 5O divisions, every fifth division
being numbered from 0 to 45. Knowing that
one whole turn of the thimble rnoves the 6pin-

capacity.. Start by turning the spindle until it spindle away from the anvil and insert a clean
piece of watch paper, then turn the spindle
until the paper is held but can be withdrawn
without tearing. After pulling the paper out,
without releasing the spindle, no doubt you
will find that your caliper registers correctly.
\Vhen rneasuring with a micrometer caliper
alu'ays bring the anvil and spindle together
u.'ith a light tr)ressure. By using und.ue force
it is easy to spring the tool and ruin it for ac-
curate measurements. For this reason the be-
ginner will get better results by having his mi-
crometer equipped u'ith a ratchet stilp and thus
get the same amount of pressure at all times.
Having vour micrometer caliper closed to
register at 0, open it by giving one full turn of
the thimble until tlre O on the thimble again
registers on the horizontal line on the sleeve
as illustrated at figure 150. Notice that the
heveled edge of the thimble now coincides with
the first of the lower series of vertical lines on
the sleeve, indicating one half or 50/100 of a
millimeter usually written .50 mm. (see figure
150). If you turn the thimble two full turns
from the anvil until it is even with the first of
the upper series of vertical lines counting from
the 0 line it indicates one millimeter, written
1 mm. (see fi gure 151).
When the horizontal line on the sleeve does
not eoincide with the 0 line on the thimble it is
necessary to add the extra hundredths indi-
cated. In fignre 152 the thimble is a trifle past
the 2 millimeter line and the 33 Une on the
thimble coincides with the horizontal line on
the sleeve this showing exactly two and thirty
three hundredths millimeters, written 2.33 mm.
In figure 153 the thimble is dra.*'n out still
further. Here it is past the line indicating 6.50
mm and shows .44 on the thimble, Adding 6.fl)
and .4.1 gives 6.94 mm.
The pitch of the spindle thread on the mi-
crometer shown in figure 146 is coarser and one
turn of the thimble moves the spindle exactly
one millimeter instead of one half millimeter
as in the other. On this spindle there is but one
series of vertical lines, each line being one
millimeter apart.
Seefiorrs192 to 194 WATCHMAKING
TUIAST'ER
On the thimble there are 100 divisions,each
division indicating one one-hundredth of a
millimeter. Thus if you back the spindle from
the anvil one full turn it will have move<l
exactly one millimeter. The drawing at figure
154 shows the difference between the two me-
thods of indicating the same measurements.
The drawing at 154 shows 6.94 mm by this
system and figure 153 shows 6.94 rnrn by the
other system.
Figure 148 shows much the same type of
micrometer as figure 147 with the addition of
a ratchet stop and lock nut. The ratchet at H

pres$ure is applied on the spindle and rernoves
the danger of springing the tool. The lock nut
at K enables you to lock the micrometer in any
position.
A satisfaetory way to hold the micrometer
is shown in figure 155. Here the frame is held
against the hand by the seeond finger leaving
the thumb and first finger to manipulate the
thimble. '
Sec. 192- Metric Wid.th
In measuring a mainspring to find its width
in millimeters the outer coil is held between
the frame and anvil as shorvn in figure 156
and the thimble is turned nntil the mainspring
is heltl with slight pressure, after whieh the
reading is taken as explained before. The meas-
urement for the metric width is expressed in
millimeters and for this particular mainspring
it is two and eighty three hundredths millime-
ters or in decimals, 2.83 mm.
Set. 193 - fuIetric Strength
To obtain the strength or thickness of an old
rnainspring it is sometimes necessary to straight-
en a portion of it, especially if it is set. Other-
rvise the curved part lying betrveen the spindle
and anvil, will give a higher reading than the
actual strength of the mainspring. By holding
the spring between the fingers as in figure 157
it is possible to straighten out enough of it
to gauge the actual thickness by applying the
micrometer caliper to this straight portion.
It is seldom necessary to take the measure-
ments on new mainsprings especially for Amer-
ican watches, as in the better grades, each one
comes packed in a separate envelope with the
Dennison and metric measurements plainly
marked on the outside, but you may have occa-
sion to measure new ones for Swiss lnovements
or to cheek up on American sizes and it is
possible to follow this same procedure without
injury to the spring-
Sec. 794 - Lengtlt
The length of a mainspring determines the
number of coils in the banel. If your main-
spring is of correct thickness and length, it
will oceupy the proper space in the barrel and
will have the right number of coils.
The average watch should have 11 or 12
coils in the barrel and these coils should oc-
cupy one half the area between tbe arbor and
the outer shell of the barrel. If vou will exam-
Lcssott 7 MAST'ER WATCHMAKING
ine the photograph in figure 91 lesson 5
you will see there are almost 12 coils counting
from the tip inward toward the arbor.
Some of the finer R. R. movements are fitted
with longer and thinner mainsprings having
more coils, yet occupying the proper arnount
of space in the barrel one half the area
between the arbor and the outer shell -- this
giving a longer running period on one wind-
ing. A very good example of this type is shown
in figure 134 from a Bunn Special Railroad
movement. This mainspring with nearly 14 coils
occupies one half the area between the hub
and the outer shell of the barrel and is known
as a 60 hour mainspring.
Sec. 795 - A Rule to Remember
One of the rules applying to the mainspring
is that in order to obtain the greatest number
of turns the length and strength should be such
that the occupied part of the barrel outside of
the arbor is equal to that of; the unoccupied
part; in other words a mainspring should oc-
cupy one half of the area between the outer
diameter of the arbor and the inside shell of
the barrel. Some watchmakers apply this rule
by dividing the radius into three equal parts,
giving the arbor one third, the unoceupied part
one third and that part occupied by the main-
spring, one third.
This rule applies fairly well as far as the
arbor is concerned as you will find it is general-
ly just about one third the inside diameter of
the barrel - in the majority of watches being
Section 79lt
under rather than over this proportion, but the
distance from the arbor to the inner shell of
the barrel should be divided into two equal
areas, when comparing the open space with
that of the space occupied by the mainspring,
and the area of these two equal spaces are not
contained as equal radial measurements.
In figure 158 I have drawn two circles in-
side an outer circle in order to divide the radius
A B into three equal parts. This however does
not mean that the total space, enclosed by C is
equal to the total space betn'een the circle C
and D or that the space between C and D is
equal to the space between D and E. As a
matter of fact as the diameters increase the
areas increase.
In figure 159 the circle F is the same size as
C in figure 158 but the circle G divides the
space between F and H into two equal areas,
that is the area of the space between the circles
F and G is the same as that of the space be-
tween G and H. If the heavy circle H were to
represent the shell on the wateh barrel and the
eircle F the diameter of the arbor, a properly
fitted mainspring will exactly fill the space be-
tween G and H when entirely run down and
in like manner occupy the space between F and
G when wound tightly around the arbor. You
will find that the diameter of the circle G re-
presenting the inner coil of the mainspring
when run down is almost exactly three fourths
the diameter of the circle H representing the
inside shell of the barrel.
Section 796 to 198 MASTER WATCHMAKING
Keeping this in mind it is an easy matter to
tell by the appearance of a mainspring in the
barrel whether it is of corect thickness, pro-
vided you know how many coils it should have.
By knowing what proportion the mainspring
should occupy you can figure out its proper
strength for any barrel.
In like manner, knowing the strength of a
given mainspring it is possible to figure how
many coils should be in the barrel to give the
best results.
Sec. 796 - To Calculat'e Strength
Here is a sirnple rule that will give you the
approximate strength of a mainspring with any
given number of coils where you have the in-
side diameter of the barrel and the diameter
of the arbor.
(a) Subtract one half the diameter of the
arbor from one half the inside diameter
of the barrel (AB rninus AC figure 158),
(b) Take 38Ya per cent of this difference.
(c) Divide the result by the number of coils
desired and this will give proper strength
of mainspring to give most turns on the
banel.
Let us take as an example the llamilton
barrel shown in figure 140.
The inside diameter is 15.5 mm.
The diameter of the hub, (F in figure 159)
is 5 mm.
Number of coils 12.5
(d) Subtracting one half the diameter of the
arbor (2.5 mm.) from one half the inside
diameter of the barrel (7.75 mm.) we
obtain 5.25 mm.
(e) 381/+per cent of 5.25 mm. gives 2 mm.
(f) Dividing 2 mm by 12.5 (number of coils)
gives .16 mm as the proper strength for
a mainspring for this movement.
Sec. 197 - To Calculate Number of Coils

(S) Divide 381/E% of space by strength of

Lesson 7
Sec. 798 - Som,e Interesting Eaperiments
The majority of watchmakers have their own
ideas as to the amount of space that a main-
spring should occupy in a barrel but few knorn'
the correct method of determining this space
and what the proper proportions are. You will
find that a great many go on that idea of one
third of the space on the radius as explained
in section 195.
The watchmaker of an investigating turn of
mind will get some rather interesting results
if he will go to the trouble of making a few
experiments on an ordinary grade of watch.
He will find that some factories provide their
watches with mainsprings that are too long. In
order to overcome friction and poor adjust-
ment on these movements it is neces$ary to
provide springs of goodly strength and in doing
this they apply a stronger spring of the sarne
Iength as the weaker springs on higher grade
movements.
In my work of instructing I have made various
experiments and have shown where more turns
of the barrel often could have been secured
by shortening the mainspring. At A figure 160
is a barrel from a 16 size 7 jeweled American
watch with a 16 size mainspring as recommend-
ed by the manufacturer of the movement. This
mainspring is .20 mm thick and would be ac-
cepted as the proper size by a great many
watchmakel:.
The unoccupied space on the radius of the
barrel is about the same as that covered by
the mainspring and as I have said before, this
is the rule that many watchmakers use in de-
termining whether the mainspring is of correct
strength and number of coils.
Experiment A.
If we compare this portion however to the
drawing in figure 159 we find that the urain-
spring is occupying altogether too much of the
barrel. In experimenting with this mainspring
barrel in the movernent, I found that by wind-
ing it up as far as it would go and then allow-
ing it to run dolf,'n, the minute hand made ffi2/5
revolutions or if we could imagine that the
watch would run as long as this with its escape-
ment in place, 3S hours and 24 minutes.
Experiment B.
I next took this mainspring out of the barrel,
broke off 33 millimeters from the outside end,
put on a new tip and wound it into the barrel
as shown at B. Replacing in the movement antl
winding up as before, it ran down with 37 2/3
Lesson7 MASTER WATCHMAKING
turns of the minute hand. Here you see the
mainspring was &3 millimeters shorter and yet
ran an hour and 16 rninutes longer.
Experiment C.
Again I removed the mainspring and hroke
off N millimeters from the end and replaced
in the barrel as shown at C. Upon winding this
mainspring and letting it run down it showed
turns amounting to a trifle more than 38 hours.
Experiment D.
Next I broke off ?.5 millimeters more and
the mainspring appeared as in D. When this
lvas wound up and allowed to run down it
showed 38 hours and 14 minutes, a gain of
nearly two hours over the full length main-
spring shown at A.
If you will examine the proportions shown
in D you will find that they approach very
nearly our ideal shown in the drawing in
figure 1.59.
I continued breaking off portions of the main-
spring and testing them with the train in the
movement with the following results:
Section 798 contftmed
ExperimentE.
The portion of mainspring shown at E, 25
millimeters shorter than D. ran 37 hours and
5E minutes.
Experiment F.
F, 25 millimeters shorter than E ran nearly
the same as E, 37 hours and 52 minutes.
Experiment G,
Finally I broke off 50 rnillimeters more mak-
ing the mainspring at G 50 millimeters shorter
than F yet it ran down showing 36 hours and
42 minutes.
Comparing figure A rn'ith figure G -vou should
appreciate the fact that having a longer main-
spring does uot always make the watch run a
greater length of time. Here in figure A we
have the full length mainspring which gives
turns amounting to 36 hours and 24 minutes.
At figure G the same mainspring after break-
ing off a large portion and then having been
wound up so many times that it began to show
the effects on the inner coil, which is set, gives
more turns than in A.
 Sectiort 198 and 199 KIASTER WATCHMAKING
ExperimentH.
Taking another new mainspring of the same
make and the same strength as the one used
in experiment A, I broke it off at the point K,
thus dividing it into two parts as shown at L
and M, the portion L being about 18O mm. or a
trifle over seyen inches long. I then placed a
tip on the end of portion M and wound it into
the barrel as showu at H. Placing this shorter
mainspring in the movement and winding it
up completely I found that it made turns equi-
valent to 37 hours and 2 minutes before it
\ilas completely run down.
Here again, is demonstrated the paradox of
making a mainspring give more turns to the
barrel by taking off a generous portion. It
would appear as though much of the part L
of this mainspring was of little value in the
watch as we get better results by using the part
M alone. Comparing the results of this short
mainspring with the complete mainspring used
in the barrel at A, we find that this short one
ran 58 minutes longer than when using the
entire spring.
If we substitute a weaker mainspring of
about the same length, \n'e may expect a greater
number of turns as a result of winding it up
and letting it run down. What we gain in turns
however, we lose in power. Thus it is that the
finer the workmanship on a movement in a
given size the Iess the strength needed in the
mainspring to give a proper motion to the bal-
a n c e.
Exp er im ent N.
In this same movement I placed a mainspring
with a thickness of .16 mrn which filled the
barrel as shown at N figure 160. This spring
you will observe has only a fraction more than
the number of coils in the stronger spring shown
at A but comes nearer to occupying the ideal
space in the barrel.
On account of the better proportions of space
and mainsprings we should expect this to give
more turns on the barrel than any of the pre-
vious mainsprings.
The result of winding and allowing it to run
don'n gave a number of turns equal to SlYz
hours.
Experiment O.
Breaking off 31 mm, which gave approx-
imately one coil less as shown in O, gave the
number of turns equal to 53% hours, a gain
of nearly two hours.
Another test was then tried with No. 0 by
placing the balanie and escapement in the
Lesson 7
movement, winding the mainspring up to its
limit and allowing the watch to run in one
position until it stopped which it did in 51
hours and 58 minutes, this lacking about 1%
hours of running as long as it did when there
was no resistance to the train.
Experiment P.
As a further test I broke sff At mm more as
shown in P and allowed it to run down which
it did with a number of turns equal to 52Yz
hours as compared with 53/3 hours with O.
Here it is evident that I have broken off a
trifle too much, and the mainspring occupies
less than one half the actual area between the
arbor and inner rim of the bamel, and does
not give as much power as with the length
shown at O.
You should now see the fallacy of thinking
that because a watch does not run as long as
should be expected, it has a mainspring that
is too short. There are probably more main-
springs by a large majority of a greater length
than is necessary than there are mainsprings
too short, being carried in watches today.
From these last three experiments you might
get the idea that all that is necessary is to keep
reducing the strength of the mainspring and
the watch will give better service but this will
not prove true. The power needed is deter-
mined to a great extent upon the condition of
the movement. Thus it is that a 2l jeweled
grade uses a weaker spring than does a 7 or
15 jeweled movement made by the same manu-
facturer. l.[ot only do the extra jewels reduce
the friction in the train but in the higher grade
movements the escapements are matched closer.
It is not customary to break off the end of
a mainspring in order to get the correct length
for American watches. As a general rule you
will find that solne manufacturers have a
tendency, especially in the lower grades, to
use springs of too great a length, but it will
hardly pay for you to change the length of
every one you put in.
The better way is to put each one of your
repair jobs in such good condition that a weak-
er mainspring will make the watch motion
properly.
Sec. 199 - Choosing a Mainspring f or
An American Watch
Before taking any mainspring from its barrel
examine carefully to see that it occupies the
proper spase, has the correct number of coils
and that the uppeledge of the outside coil
Lesson 7 MASTER WATCHMAKING Sections 199 and W

come$ a trifle below the shoulder in tbe barrel
where the cap snaps in place, this showing the
proper width.
Remove the mainspring and gauge it for
width and strength. Notice the type of tip and
then from the mainspring chart you should be
able to select the proper mainspring for that
rnovement.
On the following pages you will find descript-
ive charts of mainsprings for eleven different
American made Watches. Some of the factories
making these movements have gone out of
business but as long as these watches continue
to be brought in for repairs it is necessary to
list mainsprings to fit them even as it is necessa-
ry to list those for discontinued models made
by the more successful factories.
In these charts the various types of tips are
illustrated and this will help you in selecting a
mainspring to match any particular one. Fol-
lowing the style column is given the company's
number, then the siae follorved by the column
giving the description of that particular main-
spring or the movement for which it is intend-
ed. The next two colurnns give the Dennison
width and strength as found by the gauge shown
in figure 145.
The columns designatedas Width Metric and
Thickness Metric are the ones to be used for
those using the metric system of gauging. Un-
der the Width ll{etric Column are shown the
widths of the mainsprings in millimeters and
in the next column are shown the Strengths or
Thicknesses in Millimeters, usually in hun-
dredths and occasionally in thousandths of a
millimeter.
Suppose that a 16 size Hamilton Watch is
brought to you and you find it needs a new
mainspring. How will you go about selecting a
new one? After seeing that it fills the proper
proportion of the barrel, remove and measure
its width and thickness. You find that it has a

thick. Looking on the chart, under Hamil-
ton, 16 size, you find that number 355 in the
first column is the one needed. In like manner
you can find the proper spring for any Amer-
ican Watch.

sist of a great quantity of each size nor
that you carry every number listed on our
charts. Generally you will find that certain
makes of watches are most popular and your
stock of mainsprings should be heaviest on
these lines. You can purchase assortments al-
ready made up in sizes to suit nearly every
purse. By purchasing an assortment you are
able to buy at the dozen or gross price which
makes quite a saving as cornpared to the cost
when only one mainspring is selected.
The cost of good quality mainsprings is so
small compared to the retail price for replacing
them in watches,that it does not pay to buy the
cheapestquality or job lots. The cheaper main-
springs nearly always will be found of inferior
quality and the few cents more profit wiII hard-
ly make up for the loss of a good crlstomer
when such a mainspring "sets" in his watch.
