Seconds Hand Remover and Holder

The minuteness of the second hand makes it very difficult to manipulate. The little tool shown in Fig. 281 will be found very useful in handling these hands. To use it, raise the spring with the thumb, and push the tool along the dial astride the arbor; then let go the spring and raise the tool. The spring will hold the second hand firmly until replaced. For broaching, hold the tool, spring side down, firmly on bench or vice.
