Notes: 32 pages of research notes on the 1590/91 table clock by Jost Buergi, Kassel (Lunar anomaly clock): no states author, but found including a manuscript transmission letter (dated 19.5.99) adressed 'Dear Job'(presumably Johannes Wenzel in Mollis, Switzerland), and signed 'Ruedi' (possibly Rudolf Wehrli). Original pages unnumbered (some bearing numerals from earlier times), now numbered in pencil in order they were received. Many sheets consist of annotated (e.g. corrected toothcounts) photocopies of the images of John Leopolds publication on the clock, plus many additional schematics on the clockworks. Material also includes a typescript list of all artifacs known to be by Jost Buergi and list of all known workman in Buergis workshops. Papers appear to be part of an effort of somebody who was contemplating writing a book (or at lest a working paper) on the oeuvre of Jost Burgi.
