There are no 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 September 15th.

Bob Holmström
