Fix this textThe following Report is hy the Chairman of the Jury on Horology at the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition, wherein the First Award, for the Waltham Non-Magnetic Watches is recommended
Fix this text“WALTHAM WATCH COMPANY. Non-Magnetic Watches. —Having obtained further information and the results of some good practical tests of some non-magnetic watches of this
Fix this textexhibit, I have now the honour to report further upon it. Question having arisen as to similarity of the balance of this watch and that of Palhard’s, the exhibitors obtained the opinion of an expert,
Fix this textwho examined one of the Waltham Non-Magnetic Watches, as well as one of Eotheranrs Watches with Palliard’s non-magnetic balance. This expert (Mr. Kahan) reports as follows I have received
Fix this textfrom Messrs. Robert Beeston and Co., agents for the Waltham Watch Company, a non-magnetic watch, for the purpose of reporting to you whether the same is identical with those known as Palliard
Fix this textanTco’s i haw examined watch No. 3,292,923, lever escapement, keyless (Riverside). The balance (bi-metallic compensated) hair-sprmg (Breguet), lever, pallets, and ruby roller are made of such
Fix this textmetals that are not liable to become magnetised, and consequently these watches are well adapted for the purpose for which they are made. The balance and hairspring are not identical with those
Fix this text“ The exhibitors have also forwarded to me a report from Captain Joseph, who carried one of these watches with him while occupied about the dynamos in the electric lighting department. This
Fix this textreport is as follows ; At first the watch had a gaining rate of 30 seconds per day. After wearing it for some days, and finding this rate fairly constant the watch was used in timing tests of dynamos.
Fix this textThe rate then changed to 90 seconds per day, losing. I then regulated it so as to bring it to a gaming rate of 20 seconds per day. This being constant for six days the watch was again used in the
Fix this textdynamo-room, and without affecting the rate. I have worn it constantly, and it has been brought several times in contact with dynamos at work, having a magnetic field which I think would have
Fix this textruined an ordinary movement; but its rate still remains gaining about 20 seconds per day. ’
Fix this text“I have also a report of a series of careful experiments with one of these watches Irom Mr, R. C. Fletcher, engineer in charge of electric light instalment, the result of which shows that these watches,
Fix this textafter being laid on the poles of the large dynamos at work for one or two minutes, and afterwards regulated and then exposed again for twenty or twenty-live minutes, did not appreciably alter then rates. r.
Fix this textFletcher was so pleased with the results that he purchased one of the watches for his own use among electric lighting machinery.
Fix this text“In consideration of these reports in connection with former trials and time tests, I recommend that the Waltham Company be given a FIRST AWARD for their NEW
Fix this textNON-MAGNCTIC WATCH. R C J- ELLERY, E RA., CHAIRMAN.”
