Holes are "lapped" through them with filaments dusted with diamond powder. These threads, almost like bits of spider web, twirl at the rate of 36,000 revolutions a minute! I was shown a twoâ€"ounce bottle and told that it held $1,200 worth of diamond powder. . Poising the balance wheel, I learn, is a delicate job. The rim . of it is of brass, welded on steel. Why not all one metal? The two metals to pull against each other and overcome exâ€" nansion. In testing the balance wheel it is twirled on jewels. If it does not stop dead one or two of these minâ€" ute, dustlike screws will be removed and others substituted until it does. In the smaller watches a hundred of these screws, side by side, will make an inch. Each is threaded, 360 threads to the inch. Marvels of Watch Factory This TIllinois plant, the greatest watch factory in the world, is amazâ€" ingly equinped with automatic maâ€" chinery. Two men running fourteen. machines drill 125,000 holes in a day in one department. One man, who euts 1,100 different kinds of "blanks," makes 70,000,000 in a year. â€" "That‘s a job no man has ever been able to hold. You or I couldn‘t get a screw in place in fifteen minutes. , But that girl will put in 4,000 in eight hours." Like Gold Dust Imagine gold screws so fine that they look like gold dust; 20,000 of them to fill a thimble! Imagine steel screws so small that a pile of them scattered about appear like pepperâ€" yet each one threaded, a slot in each head so that they can be screwed in. A row of girls sit turning these gold screws into balance wheels.
