The front cover features the dial of a clock signed by James Harrison of Barrow.

This is the last issue by the current editor Jeff Darken and the editor's comment thanks all those who have helped him over the last 11 years.

The issue contains five articles:

In 'Quaker Letters to a Watchmaker' William Linnard writes on what appears to be a spoof letter which is recorded in several forms, one in the Welsh language, with its origins in the late eighteenth century.

The subject of the second article, titled 'The Contribution of South-west Lancashire to Horology' by Alan Treherne, deals with the centres of watch movement making. Part 2 will follow in a future issue.

The third article is the second part of Dr Hans Boeckh's Dingwell Beloe lecture of 2007/8. Dr Boeckh's studies have revealed the origins of many of the scenes found on enamelled watch cases from the seventeenth century. The article is lavishly illustrated.

The fourth article covers cases of English Marquetry Table Clocks from the latter part of the seventeenth century. It is lavishly illustrated with many fine examples.

Finally Phillip Arnott writes on a clock by Brouncker Watts with early silent pull repeat and gathered rack.

The Picture Gallery features the clock by James Harrison shown on the front cover. Both the case and movement are illustrated and discussed.

The issue totals 152 pages, is illustrated mainly in colour and is completed by the regular sections covering Horological News, AHS programme, news and meeting reports, Book Reviews, 'Letters to the Editor' and 'For Your Further Reading'.
