Trolley watches were pocket watches intended for operators of electric interurban trolley cars between cities. They were required so cars could safely follow timetable instructions. Failure to meet opposing cars at specific times and locations could have deadly consequences. The major watch companies made pockets watches to meet this demand. They were similar to railroad standard watches but with 17 (rather than 21) jewels and adjusted to fewer positions. Phillip will examples from his collection. The first electric interurban in the country opened in 1892 between Portland and Oregon City. A vast network of interurbans rapidly grew until it became the fifth largest in the industry in the country. A number connected the cities of the Pacific Northwest. They filled the need for rural transportation of people and goods. Growing popularity of automobiles and paved roads killed the industry and most were gone by the end of WWII.

For those new to clock repair, the Foundational Repair skills 1 workshop offers a basic understanding of the most fundamental operations involved in clock repair, restoration, and conservation. For the more advanced participants, this workshop provides a deeper understanding and exposure to different techniques. These skills are essential for success. This workshop will cover the basics of precision measurement using the micrometer and caliper, lathe operations, burnishing /polishing pivots, repivoting, and making and setting bushings. While some may see these skills as not being "basic", they are at the foundation of all good clockwork. The workshop‘s focus is not on the clock repair itself but the skills necessary for it. This workshop addresses horology with a philosophy of sympathetic restoration. "Sympathetic restoration" has been defined as correcting the mechanical and structural failures, while maintaining the physical effects of history and use (i.e., patina, modifications, etc.). As applied to the restoration of clocks, the goal is to restore the clock to its original state while respecting its age and materials.

This two-day workshop is an introduction to the use of a micro mill or tabletop milling machine. it is a hands-on workshop open to both the beginner and the advanced student . Procedures for machining horological watch and clock parts will be provided; these same procedures can be used for any small part. Participants will learn the basic setup of small mill and the utilization of common and readily available tooling. Machining procedures covered in this workshop are the same as used by manufacturers to produce watch and clock parts.

This two-day workshop is open to beginners as well as advanced students. While not necessary, basic knowledge of the lathe and milling machine procedures will be helpful. The workshop will center on both watch and clock applications, but the procedures can be utilized for all types of construction. The use of commercial cutter, machining of cutters, and duplication of tooth forms will be covered.
