Information about the links or groups of links shown below.
Here are some of the sites that I would advise you to visit and where you will find the best information on the Web.
One of the "Plainest" looking search sites is http://www.google.com and I have found this to be the most useful. I would follow this by http://www.ask.com which is the new name for "Ask Jeeves". Here you can pose a question such as, "Where will I find a clock movement for my old Grandfather Clock?" and be directed to the best sites for the purpose on the web.
