    An accuracy of the Airy's formula is examined. The Airy's formula gives a period of a pendulum excited by an impulsive force. Results obtained are as follows: When an impulsive force works upon a pendulum before it reaches the neutral point, the Airy's formula gives a little less value of the period than the exact one, and when the impulsive force works after the pendulum has passed the neutral point, it gives a little excessive value of the period. The deviation becomes greater when the damping of the pendulum becomes greater and when the working point of the impulsive force becomes distant from the neutral point of the pendulum.

    A watch assembly line using vision system to assemble face, hands, case, and back has been accomplished. The features of this system are as fol1ows: (1) Exchange of assembly parts is very easy by using display of menu, so that this system can be used for assembly of various parts. (2) Not so high speed is required in the processing time of this system because of the parallel running of robot and vision system, so that this system is not expensive.

    A Wrist watch "WRIST TERMINAL RC-1000" has been developed and put on the market. This one not only can receive data directly from information processing instruments (personal computers) but also memorise and readout the data at any time. As the RS-232C interface and RAM of 2K bytes are installed in the wrist watch, such functions as memory, schedule alarm, and world time are also fulfilled.

    Titanium Nitride and Titanium carbonitride films deposited by the hollow cathode discharge (HCD) process using N_2, C_2H_2 and H_2 gases as reactants are examined. The color characteristics and the spectral reflectance of TiN films are investigated by using the Hunter Lab system and multiple regression analysis. It is found that a hue close to that of electro-plated gold can be obtained with an appropriate composition, although lightness of the film surface decreases as the reactant gas throughput increases.

    We have developed an analogue quartz watch provided with built-in alarm, chronograph, and timer as well as conventional functions of analogue quartz watches. Three independent motors are built in this watch. Hour and minute hands driven by the first motor indicate normal and alarm-set times. Second hand at the center of the watch, and chronograph hour and minute hands are driven by the second motor, and they indicate normal second time, and chronograph second, minute and hour times, respectively. Small second hand driven by the third motor indicates chronograph 2/100 second and timer up to 49 minutes. In this paper, descriptions are made mainly on the structure of the movement and on the system constructed on the basis of fine mechanism combined with micro-electronics.
