Vertical View of the Clock Works

 

This view of the Clock Works shows the top portion of the machine that controls the hands of the clock at the four quadrants. The light gray rod that disappears off the right of the picture connects to the clock faces and controls the hands of the clock. The black electric motor connected to the Clock Works by a bicycle chain replaced the descending-weights power system in 1947.
