The rates of duty in columns l-a apply to watch movements Which have 7 Jewels or which, if having less than 7 Jewels, do not have a bushing or Its equivalent (other than a substitute for a Jewel) in any position customarily occupied by a Jewel. The rates of duty In column l-b apply to watch movements having under 7 Jewels and having a bushing or its equivalent (other than a substitute for a Jewel) in any position customarily occupied by a Jewel. (b) The complete citation for watches covered by item 715.05 and clocks covered by Item 715.15 shall be each of such Item numbers, followed by the appropriate item numbers for the respective movements and cases comprising such watches or clocks. Thus, item 715.05-716.08-720.20 Is the correct citation for a watch in a gold case having over 17 Jewels. (c) In this subpart, each of the rates of duty provided for watch movements, having no Jewels or not over 17 Jewels, not adjusted, not self-winding, and not constructed or designed to operate for a period in excess of 47 hours without rewinding (items 716.10 through 716.36, inclusive) is also the "base rate" for watch movements having the same width and number of Jewels covered by Items 7 1 7. —, 718. —, and 7 1 9. ~, For citation purposes, the two blanks on the end of each of the latter Item numbers shall be filled in with the last two digits of the Item number for the applicable base rate. Thus, "Item 717.31" would be citation for an adjusted watch movement, 0.7 inch wide, having 17 Jewels, but not self-winding and not constructed or designed to operate for a period In excess of 47 hours without rewinding. (d) The width of a watch or clock movement, as defined In headnote 2(b) and (c) of this subpart, is the shortest surface dimension through the center of the pillar or bottom plate, or Its equivalent, not Including In the measurement any portion not essential to the functioning of the movement; and the thickness of a "watch movement", as so defined, is the maximum thickness between the outside surfaces of the plate and bridges, or their equivalents. (e) The additional duty for adjustments to watch movements applies to each adjustment of whatever kind (treating adjustment to temperature as two adjustments).
