NAWCC National in Anaheim - The Horological Science chapter will meet on Friday night, July
5th following the meeting of the Antiquarian Horological Society. The topic will be current horological
projects by members. Members and guests are encouraged to share their projects with the group.
There are Rock the Boat items in this issue. These are meant to be comments no longer than half
a page on horological topics, including controversial ones, but not personal. This is a quick way to write
a short article, convey an important idea or ask a question.
The deadline for material for the next issue is July 15th.
Bob Holmström
