THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY CHARMING STYLES IN OUR VARIED SELECTION OF SMART SUITS & COSTUMES. UHiitels Corner l/ou/i Ha.'Ju&n denl/c KNOW YOUR WATCH & KEEP IT GOING Do you know that your watch, regardlesfc of its size, contains nearly 200 parts, some of which are unbelievably small? Some of the parts of your watch are so small that‘lo,ooo of them would not fill a thimble. Yet, there is as much pressure per square inch on the balance wheel staff (the axle ( about which the balance wheel swings) as there is on the piston of a locomotive. Here are some facts which may interest you. A series of wheels and pinions called the Train carries the power from the main-spring to the escapement, and the wheel you see moving to and fro when the watch is open at the oack is the Balance Wheel. The Train divides up the force with which the main-spring unwinds; the escapement allows this force to escape in measured doses; the Balance Wheel swings to an«d fro at a speed regulated* by the Hair or Balance Spring this governs the timekeeping of the watch. The Balance Wheel makes nearly half a million swings in 24 hours’and 150,000,000 swings a year, and ir a pocket size watch the rim of the Balance Wheel travels 8,395 miles in a year. | Watch this advertisement and learn about your watch:— | SUTHERLANDS The Jewellery House of the Coast.
