The story
Rees's Cyclopaedia gave Regency Britain its most complete printed account of horology, and plates like this are why the articles still matter: a bracket clock movement drawn plainly enough to build from — plates, pillars, fusee and train in honest elevation. The bracket clock was the London trade's masterpiece category, the portable pendulum clock of the well-kept parlor, and this engraving treats its mechanism with the respect usually reserved for architecture.
