Excerpt from Appletons' Journal of Literature, Science and Art, Vol. 4: July 9, 1870
And when Mrs. Renton said this, Millicent rose, and declared she knew that she could put one of those cushions more comfortably in the chair.
It was quite late in the afternoon when they left the Manor at last, for Mrs. Renton insisted that they should stay to luncheon. She was distressed beyond measure when she heard of the fly which had been waiting for so long.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of watchmaking from a rudimentary craft into a highly organized industry. By the mid-1800s, watchmaking was a cottage industry, centered in Switzerland and dominated by handcraft labor. But the advent of precision engineering and mass production transformed the industry, leading to the development of fully automated and interchangeable parts. The author argues that this transformation was not simply technological but also social and cultural, as it led to the rise of new forms of labor organization and a shift in the balance of power between skilled craftsmen and factory owners. Through an in-depth examination of the Waltham Watch Company, the author provides a case study of how these changes unfolded in the United States, where the watch industry became a major force in the development of the American economy. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of technology, industrialization, and the changing nature of work in the modern world.
