Notes: Catalog I-VII, 151 page, pricelist I-II, 28 pages;, in protected pdf-format on CD-ROM, printable and searchable, includes copy of the required Adobe Reader software. Available at http:// www.Any400Day.com for a cost-sharing payment of US$10 (plus US$5 for worldwide shipping). This CD is the third in the series that Victor Tang, a clock enthusiast based in Singapore, who had acquired a quantity of vintage German clock catalogs has started to makeavailable for a modest cost-sharing fee as scans on CD ROM. It follows the Gustav Becker 1912 Catalog and the 1912 Junghans catalog, and in my opinion is the best yet in this series. All three are ?must have? titles for any collector or scholar of early 20th century factory made clocks as the originals are extremely rare and can not even be found in most horological research libraries. The particularly high value of this disc comes from the fact that Tang was able to find not only the undated 151 page illustrated Master Catalog D18 of HAU/HAC, but the accompanying 28 page pricelist for clockmakers/resellers, which is dated August 1929. Given that Hamburg American (with its famous crossed arrows trademark) based in the Black Forest town of Schramberg was a very export oriented maker these should be of interest to users around the world. The catalogs are fully quarto-lingual with all texts also in English, French and Spanish in addition to the original German. Tang utilizes a very user friendly setup. Both publications are on the CD are protected pdf-files, i.e. they can be easily viewed and enlarged (they were scanned at 600 dpi) on your computer, and any page can also be printed (in low 150 dpi resolution) for reference purposes, but you can not copy and paste individual images or textblocks from the pdf-file. The catalog includes 1. the table of content by 11 different types of clock, and indexes both by 2. model name and 3. model number. The publisher has turned these three parts into electronic indexes to the catalog, clicking on the text will take you automatically to the right page of the document. Furthermore the whole text is searchable using the pdf search function, which will easily find any string of characters in the document, because the whole document has been OCRed. A total of 421 model numbers of clocks are described and illustrated in this catalog. The price list that was issued in Auguust 1929 to ?Clockmakers? (resellers) for this catalog is a separate 28 page pdf file, and also cover the Catalog Addendum D22 of which no copy is available. It this document there are no internal links, but thepdf search functions will find any word or string of characters.
