Hello,
 
What is the best way to get hold of an article from ME 15th July and 19th August 1983 about wheel crossing by J Malcolm Wild?
 
Also an article about a  One year Clock by W Botton to a Claude Reeve design put out as a Model Engineer series started 3rd Aug 1984?

Hi There
Try The Toolbox.
 
They stock a wide range of back numbers of Model Engineer at very reasonable cost.

With regard to wheel crossing, you might want to stretch the budget a good deal by purchasing the very comprehensive hard-back book authored by J. Malcolm Wild himself entitled Wheel and Pinion Cutting in Horology (ISBN 1-86126-245-0)
 
Yes of course, it is a lot more expensive than a couple of back issues but then it contains far more information.

See also the article An Introduction to Crossing Out by Bill Morris in  issue 130 of MEW commencing page 29 (October 2007).  If you are a subscriber you will have access to this issue in the digital archive.

I have got the book by J Malcolm Wild, just looked it up and sure enough the info is just what I was looking for---thanks for prompting me!  Ordered the ME back issues to look at the year clock so that is another one under way.
Many thanks to the forum!

I have written up a technique for crossing out gear wheels using a vertical milling machine and a rotary table.  If you want a copy I will E-mail you one.  Follow the instructions and you get a coconut every time.

Regards

Dick
