"As his collection grew and his albums became full, it was his habit to give them away to some interested or helpful friend and he would then start new ones. The earliest of the albums known is dated 1936...He spared no expense of either time or money in the preparation of these sets of albums...In each of the earlier sets there are a number of clocks illustrated which do not appear in others, suggesting that he, like most collectors, disposed of a number for various reasons duing the time he was collecting. He took infinite pains in pasting in the photographs and in annotating them." Dawson, p.14
