The estate of Colonel George Townsend was purchased from his wife and sons by Roy Ehrhardt and he reprinted this book for watchmakers and collectors.

By George Townsend Copyright 1986--40 Pages size 8 1/2 x 11 inches. ISBN 0-913902-52-7.  A Must Have Book for the working watchmaker and collector, especially since all the material houses are fast closing down. 925 American Balance Staff measurements including Cosmopolitan Watch Co. (Manfred Trauring) balance staff system. Also including the Hamilton Factory Technical Data Bulletins on Staff Removal and Inserting with Charts of factory specfications for Elgin, Waltham, Illinois, E.Howard, South Bend and Hampden.Simple to use! This book readily tells you which staff is closest to the one you need or YOU can now measure and sort your loose staffs to the proper company and size. This saves you hours of looking and trying by eye to find the right staff or a close one to remachine to fit the hard to find watches. This will pay for itself the first few staffs you sort out of you pile of loose staffs, and continue to pay over and over each time you use it. If you are a beginning collector you will find your watchmaker has trouble finding staffs but has many loose mixed assortments of staffs or bottles without labels, and you at shows can buy these yourselves. Material is becoming a major expense and problem since the closing of S.Larose and Manfred Trauring's company. Be prepared in advance for opportunity to buy loose material.

The scanner keeps cropping the charts themselves but I have put 24 pages of the book on for your review.
