yaccurately to a length from shoulder to shoulder,and also in diameter. The turned staffs andpivots are then hardened, and after hardening,are ground and finished on the wig-wag ma-chine. The form of upright drill which is mostlycalled into use in the manufacture of the severalparts of watches and clocks is that shown in Fig.3. The spring action of the drill stock makes itspecially serviceable for this fine work, and in the drilling of plates, bridges, etc. Fig. 4shows a screw-cutting machine of the Gesswein Co.s make, largely used in watch manu-facture. A wire is fed forward through the chuck, which projects between two movable cut-ting heads, and the tail stock has a horizontal screwed rod which acts as an adjustable stopfor the end of the wire, in determining the length of screw to be cut. One of the slide restsor heads carries the thread-cutting tool, and the other, the cutting-off tool. This figurealso shows a detached view of a tail stock for the same machine, with multiple stop

A novel stem-winding attachment for watches has been devised by Mr. Henry Abbott, ofNew York City. It is designed to be applied to key-winding watches already in use, so as

The attachment is manufactured by the same kind ofmachinery and in the same manner as stem-winding watches, and when properly fitted, thewatch is to all external appearances, and to all intents and purposes, the same as if madeoriginally as a stem-winder. Fig. 5 shows the attachment itself, and Fig. 6 presents it combined with a Waltham movement. The pendant of the watch is usually removed, and one suitable for the new winding stem and crown substituted. The stem projects with-in the case, and carries on its end a small beveled winding pinion, which meshes with a crown wheel pivoted between two plates, one called the main plate and the other the yoke ; the upper or yoke plate is of an elongated shape, and mounted so that it may be rocked upon a pivot. On either side of the central screw or pivot the yoke carries pinions or gear wheels, both meshing with the crown wheel, one (called the inter-mediate winding w
