I have also found helpful information on the following websites:
NAWCC message board: www.mb.nawcc.org
A Microsoft Excel-based version of Snowden Taylor’s wood works movement identification scheme: http://clocknuts.com/Wood%20Movement%20ID.htm [Unfortunately this wonderful website has been taken down, and the Excel file is no longer available on the internet. Contact me if you’d like a copy.]
If your interests in horology are broader than just American clockmaking from the 19th century, then you may want to take a look at the following website: A History of Horology, Clockmaking, and Watches.
