About this audiobook
"The Modern Clock: A Study of Time Keeping Mechanism; Its Construction, Regulation and Repair" by Ward L. Goodrich may seem like any of the countless manuals or technical works written about clocks over the years. As a delicate and complicated piece of machinery, having the most up-to-date information regarding its maintenance is of the utmost importance. However, Goodrich shows his expertise and ability to teach by providing readers with not only an informative text, but also one that is easy-to-understand and somehow still entertaining.
