AN IMKKESTINQ LECTURE Mr r. D. McDougaH, of Dundee, Bcotland, lectured before the Dundee Mechanical Society, on " Watch Escapement— Past and Present," on December 21, 1888. The lecturer showed the great importance of Dr. Hook's invention of the balance spring, which, together with the balance wheel, constituted, he eaid, tke trne time-kefping part of tbe watch. The chronometer, duplex, lever, cylinder, and virgule escapements were minutely described with tke aid of dia* rams, and tie properties of eack as regards their influence on tke time-keeping of tke watch noted. He spoke at length of tke duplex escapement, and expressed tke opinion from a acientiflc point of view, tkat it was equal, if not superior, to tke lever as an escapement suitable for first-clast pocket watckes. He referred to th« wonderful prodnctions of the Waterbury Watch Company, and stated tkat tbe merits of the duplex kad been recognUed by that company: A very large Waterbnry model wax shown in actiOD, as well as all the ordinary production! of tke company. Tke method of cutting and vetting up the teeth of the Waterbnry » scape wheel, one of which was seat round tbe audience, wm much admired, besides enlightening many upon tke merit of Yankee productions.
