Happy Anniversary Clock’s
The most comprehensive Anniversary Clock / 400-Day Repair Book. 2022 edition, 227 [printed] pages. Hundreds of photos and diagrams.* Do you own a clock that is special to you that has stopped working, perhaps a gift or a family heirloom? This book is for you.* Do you like to tinker with mechanical things? This book is for you.* Have you taken a clock apart but can't get it back together? This book is for you.* Are you fascinated with clocks, have several you have bought but do not work? This book is for you.Many times, the problem is simple to correct. Be bold. Take on your project. This book will hold your hand every step of the way and guide you to success. YOU CAN DO IT.Why does an Anniversary Clock stop Working? Most likely, it is because the suspension spring is broken. I will teach you how to replace it.Often, the works are dirty, need oiling, or most likely both. When the clock stops, think of it as "the oil light is on." It's a "cry for help." Without oil, the metal parts grind on each other, causing severe wear and damage. Oil also attracts dust, making the oil "gummy" and adding drag to its operation until it can no longer overcome the friction. If a clock is oiled regularly [every three to five years], chances are you will only ever need to re-oil your clock. If the clock is allowed to run until it stops, the only sure way to service it is to remove the works from its case, dismantle the parts, clean, service, and put the movement back together with fresh oil and correct adjustment.

Texas on Stamps
From explorer Cabeza de Vaca, who was shipwrecked on Galveston Island in 1528, to singer Willie Nelson and baseball superstar Nolan Ryan, Texas history, the people who made it, and the places it was made come alive on postage stamps. In over a hundred entries, Texas on Stamps displays stamps from the United States and foreign countries; the stamps are accompanied by explanatory text. First issued in May 1840, postage stamps soon became collectibles. Until about 1900, most portrayed reigning monarchs or, in this country, former presidents. Then pictorials were introduced featuring events, places, animals, any subject of national significance. Rather than collecting stamps by countries, some philatelists began topical or thematic collections. Published in the year of the Texas Philatelic Association's centennial, Texas on Stamps offers an unusual way to look at Texas history and a guide for topical collectors.

Ramciel Magazine Fourth Edition
Publisher's Note According to world politics South Sudan exists as a nation. For example, our flag flies in front of the United Nations headquarters along with those of 192 other countries. If you use Google or some other search engine, you can learn that Juba is South Sudan's capital and that our motherland is composed of ten states. There it is, the reality we call South Sudan. But is South Sudan really a nation, or is it an accident of British Empire building and a European notion of geography? Let's start with Juba. Were you going to pick the location of a capital for our country, would it not be better to be in the north, closer to the center of the nation? The British were not interested in founding a capital for what was eventually to become our motherland; they wanted to control the White Nile. But to this day, there are many who say that a new capital should be built - Ramciel. Beyond the location of Juba, what do states have to do with our country? We are a nation of tribal identities not geographic locations. By basing our government elections on geography, the constitution gives the larger tribes disproportionate power in decision-making and it deprives us of what should be an emphasis on shared values and faiths. In this issue Ramciel is proud to begin a dialog about the role of traditional tribal structures and beliefs with our interview of Sultana Abuk Macham Angui. In the future, we need to encourage more discussion among tribal leaders and religious figures to find those values and beliefs that will highlight our peoples and our traditions.One of the best South Sudanese traditions is our love of music and dance. Even though we may not all sing in the same language or dance the same steps, we can share and enjoy one with the other. One of the most popular musicians among us-both those of us at home and those living in the Diaspora-is Achuei Deng Ajing. Miss Achuei recently toured the United States and brought a touch of home to those of us living in America. As publisher of Ramciel I am delighted to share our interview with Achuei Deng Ajing. While music has always been an integral part of life for South Sudanese, the same cannot be said of team sports such as basketball and football. In recent years such sports have been a major conduit for others to hear of our country and many of our athletes have become celebrities at home. Ramciel is committed to helping spread that rightful pride in our athletes. That's why we try to publish so many photos of athletes and others who deserve attention and praise. There is something else that should be bringing us together as a nation: floods. Water is an integral part of our nation's existence. The word Sudan comes from the Arabic sudd, which means swamp or marsh. Our marshland is important and the tribes who live in those marshes bring important qualities to our national character. However, flooding is destructive and water can be dangerous. As a nation, we need to discuss how to handle the water of our country. This subject is especially important when we recognize that climate change models suggest that South Sudan will become wetter in coming years. With the question, "Will water be our resource or our destroyer?" in mind, I am particularly pleased that this issue of Ramciel includes an interview with hydrologist Dr. Tag Elhazine.Those of us who are part of the South Sudanese community-be we in Juba, in the hinterlands, or in the Diaspora-need to focus on our motherland as a whole. We must not allow the old thinking of London, or even that of Washington, tell us how to be a country. Instead, we must find our common cause, our shared pride, and our unique way forward. As the publisher of this magazine, I am devoted to that cause and to the future of our nation. Deng Mayik Atem Ramciel Magazine Publisher

Star Watch Case Company, The Baumgartner Collection, 1904-1931
This first edition of the Baumgartner Collection, rendered in color, comprehensively catalogs Friedrich Alexander Baumgartner's watch case engraving designs from his 27-year tenure as a senior member of the Star Watch Case Company Engraving Department from 1904 to 1931. The compilation presents 3,474 watch case etching designs, offering a unique glimpse into Star Watch case offerings, and Baugmartner's drawing techniques. The collection has been methodically arranged, and indexed to serve as a valuable resource for enthusiasts and serious collectors alike, as well as researchers, historians, and horologists, who will gain a renewed appreciation for the intricacy and craftsmanship involved in watch case design. Enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate the two indices: one that catalogs designs by theme (e.g., birds, botanical, cabins, eagles, elk and deer, dogs, women, etc.), period (e.g., Renaissance), case shape (e.g., pentagon, octagonal, or cushion), and production year; and another that lists all cases in the collection and provides transcribed notes, when available, for each case drawing. The collection is a valuable tool for horological research of Star Watch cases and secures Baumgartner's reputation as a distinguished American watch case artist and engraver.Editorial Reviews: "Mr. Pittman's compilation is a remarkable tribute to the genius of Friedrich Baumgartner, whose designs for the Star Watch Case Company are distinguished by their artistry and craftsmanship. This book meticulously preserves and presents thousands of Baumgartner's creations, offering collectors and historians an invaluable window into his legacy. Beautifully indexed and thoughtfully arranged, it stands as the definitive resource on Baumgartner's contributions to the art of watch case design and the history of American watchmaking." - Nathan Moore, historian of American horology and creator of the Pocket Watch Database
