View of the Clock Works

 

This is one big clock and in 2012 it was on its 104th year of service. It was purchased in 1908 from the Howard Clock Co. of New York for $2,775. Only a part of the clock is shown here because the shed was too small to capture a view of the full machine. It continues to function as it was designed. A major change made over the years was to replace the weights as the power source with electric motors.
