The Electrical Horology Group of the AHS

	Welcome to the Home Page of the Electrical Horology Group (EHG), a Specialist Group within the Antiquarian Horological Society. The Electrical Horology Group has been in existence since 1970 and has over 150 members world-wide.

EHG members share an interest in all electrical horology, from the early beginnings in the 19th Century, right up to relatively modern Quartz and atomic clocks. The diversity of approach in applying electrical power to winding or maintaining a clock is immense, and the ingenuity of solutions to the problems encountered is fascinating.

Meetings are held approximately four times a year, usually on a Saturday in March/April, June, September and November. A variety of venues is used but generally two or three of the meetings are held at the Guildhall Library, City of London. Meetings may involve formal lectures, short talks, visits to places of horological interest, exhibitions, visits to private collections, and so forth.

Announcements of forthcoming meetings of the Group are generally included in each issue of Antiquarian Horology, as are the subsequent reports of these meetings. These are also accessible on this site. (Click on 'Future Meetings' and 'Meeting Report' in the sidebar).

The Annual General Meeting is held in November and is combined with a special lecture, often given by a guest speaker.

The Group publishes technical papers from time to time on electrical horology matters that may not have a wide enough appeal for inclusion in the Journal. These Papers are available to Group members. New Papers are dependent on members providing the material for publication. Over seventy such Papers have been published so far.

If you are not a member, but are interested in joining, please contact the Secretary of the Electrical Group, James Nye, or the Chairman of the Electrical Group, Martin Ridout.

Membership of the Group is only open to members of the AHS, and you can indicate to the AHS when joining that you would also like to join the EHG. Membership of the EHG is just £3 per year (in addition to the annual subscription for the AHS).
