His travels took him to Brookfield, where he boarded with Joseph H. Breck and casted five clocks. In August, Goddard resumed working for Luther. The volume also includes Goddard's formula for cutting pinion teeth and a list of eight day clocks he produced in 1795. The brief entries were made in "The Ladies New Royal Pocket Companion for the Year 1795."
