Book excerpt: The phrase "in a New York minute" is virtually synonymous with all that is fast-paced and technologically advanced. One of the first cities founded on the eastern seaboard, New York has been a horological trendsetter for almost four hundred years. When the first Dutch settlers came to Manhattan in the early years of the 17th century, they established America's first stronghold of capitalism. Over the next few centuries, precise schedules became an inescapable reality of modernization and precision timepieces became an art form in Europe and America. As the center of commercial and industrial activity, New York City developed a particular preoccupation with time, and hence became a showplace for an astonishing array of timepieces. From tower clocks to time balls, this richly illustrated work chronicles the history of public clocks in New York City. It discusses the premiere clock-makers of the 19th century such as the Ansonia Clock Company and the Self Winding Clock Company, the heyday of American public clock making and the ever-increasing importance of clocks. Post clocks, church clocks, sundials, and labor timepieces are all discussed herein. Photographs of subject pieces and an index are included.

Download or read book Historic Alabama Bells written by Thomas Kaufmann and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After seven years of climbing into attics, domes, towers and steeples, Thomas Kaufmann emerges with a story of Alabama bells. This story encapsulates the history of the state itself. These bells - some dormant, others pealing still - were forged by the Reveres in Boston. They called Alabamians to worship, celebrated weddings and tolled at funerals. They sounded the death knell for countless parishioners during the havoc of the Civil War, watched over the Freedom Riders and shook from the blast of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing. And while their clear tones have rung out in remembrance of so many of the state's solemn and sacred moments, many of these bells have fallen into neglect, their silence serving as its own reminder of the urgent need for preservation.

Download or read book The American Clock written by William H. Distin and published by Random House Value Publishing. This book was released on 1983 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most all-encompassing work on the subject to be published in many years, The American Clock is certain to become a standard reference work in this important and ever-growing field of collecting. The book is not intended to be a history of clockmaking in America; instead, its purpose is to collect into one volume a very large number of significant clocks of all types so that collectors will have a substantial pictorial reference with which to compare their own acquisitions and to extend their knowledge of the field. Compiled by William H. Distin, a well-know authority on clock who is a fellow and former Director of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, this 360-page book presents almost 700 black-and-white illustrations, 84 color plates, a 65-page listing of 6153 American clockmakers, and a glossary of clock terms. Also, over 100 of the photographs show close-ups of the dials and works of many different clocks. Of special interest is the fact that most of the clocks assembled in this volume are published in this book for the first time--for the majority of them have been photographed from private collections. The illustrations are divided into the following main categories: Tower Clocks, Tall Case Clocks, Dwarf Tall Case Clocks, Bracket Clocks, Massachusetts Shelf Clocks, Lighthouse Clocks, Shelf Clocks, Novelty Clocks, Tools, and Wall Clocks. The index lists the clockmakers alphabetically, with the clocks illustrated arranged under the name of each maker. In every respect The American Clock is a most impressive and handsome production that will prove highly useful for years to come to all collectors and students in the field." -- Provided by publisher
