Abstract
Volume 139 no.6
The cover story concerns a new addition to the FESTINA range which has the new MIYOTA quartz movement
which generates its own power and stores enough for up to 6 months. Martin Foster reviews the Basel Fair.
John Taylor completes his piece on American Clockmaker J C Brown. Philip Woodward analyses Harrison's
grasshopper and Ivan Slee writes a racy piece 'Louise, Nell and Longitude'. Starting this month an article
is selected for putting on the NET in its entirety; this is an account by Ted Wale 'Repairing a Fragile
Great Wheel'. Two letters seek to identify a clock described in the April issue. There is praise for Upton
seminars on ilustration and pivot polishing.
