We have a New York Yankees scorebook from 1954. My father-in-law went to a game that year and kept score.

I put it on the timegrapher, and noticed the amplitude was very low (~250-260 degrees). The movement was also slow (~-10spd). I took the watch off, wound it manually several times, put it back, and the amplitude was back up (~310 degees) and the timekeeping…
