Quick detach spring bars are not as long as the commensurate lug width size of regular spring bars, note. I haven’t been willing to pay the $40 for the ANSI spec just to win interest arguments lol, but I ordered some from Jules Borel which are the highest quality American seller I have found and they were indeed shorter. In addition, Barton customer service confirmed this fact with their product development for me.
I don’t mean citations in an academic way, I mean he wasn’t like “i dug up x from an old magazine”
or “such and such website” etc. It’s great that it exists but I can’t find anything further with much detail and it includes no hints as to where I might loo is all. I probably should have written “links” instead of “citations,” but that’s vague too because it could well be some print sources I don’t know about. My point was specifically that because he doesn’t indicate the source of the info I can’t go
to that source myself to read anything further.
And yes the gaps make it interesting but the post doesn’t reveal any hints as to how to further fill in the gaps.
Thanks! I saw that, but it’s the only thing I could find and he doesn’t seem to cite anything else either! Clearly did his homework but man there seem to be a lot of gaps, like leaping from the late-60s to 2009.
In general it sure feels like the history of watches is very poorly documented. I have collected vintage cameras too and those are nearly always well-documented. a kind of funny how it seems to be this blind spot.
