Scope and content
These notebooks contain definitions, descriptions, notes and comments on various types and examples of clocks, movements, technical matters etc., with diagrams. Written in neat, almost calligraphic handwriting in black and red ink, they may have initially been compiled as part of a clockmaker's training, as some paragraphs in notebook no. 1 are marked 'very good'. They are captioned 'H. Draisey Esq., clockmaker, 216 Bath Road, Bristol'
