Difficult to photograph, but... The terminal point of this "gutline" travels back and forth as the line unwinds from the barrel. Necessary because of the design of the double width weight and pulley which needs to remain parallel as it drops. https://t.co/2HB4BcSr6M

Fusee blow hole. Looks as though some attempt was made to plug another hole near by. I guess this one appeared as the groove was machined making plugging a much harder job? https://t.co/wZxEPnHiLl

Guess this rack kept slipping? Also no collet to hold it in place. Nice work https://t.co/zijCrkcMcT

Hair pin used as a click spring https://t.co/h2KmFZySdt

I quite like the aesthetic of the massively over sized key hole washer. https://t.co/2nbT7GmvFb

[Scott Jeffery @Sc0ttJeffery]

A couple of unusual details here, though nothing special. Offset rack hook requiring a special bracket on the side of the movement, and a spring loaded strike lever so the hands can be set backwards. https://t.co/TVIF1Kk8it

Torn spring? No problem.. to be fair to this repairer, it did the job for over twenty years https://t.co/alcrBMDSGO

I'm guessing the apprentice slotted this screw? https://t.co/OEvk0BVIHY

Pretty cool chain drive to the quarter chine barrel to keep the winding square on centre https://t.co/HUt3Vt3ZRS

A well centred suspension slot... https://t.co/1DPwq8X9lE

First time seeing this. The dial foot actually mounts inside the movement pillar and they share a pin. Looks like an original feature as there are no spare holes. https://t.co/WEOhykAX07

Not my repair, but, I've never seen this. Someone has patched two leaves into an longcase centre pinion. Ugly but functional. https://t.co/TmSEEmjBQS

[Scott Jeffery @Sc0ttJeffery]

One way to do it... Hour hand/post repair. not mine, but it's a damn good fit so I'll leave it https://t.co/puueNKsmqL

I drew a kitty. https://t.co/fERd15q0yr

[Scott Jeffery @Sc0ttJeffery]

This bad boy was fully wound 5 minutes ago... Don't honestly know how it managed to hold on https://t.co/ipP958qzyg
