February 2010 - Chapter 72 Meeting

Alec Rodgers gave a talk on his visit to see Big Ben with his granddaughter, a unique experience as tours are very limited. A display of various Tiffany clocks, a make not often seen in Australia attracted interest because they combine electric, battery operated movements with torsion pendulums.

Alec Rodgers shows the pennies used to adjust Big Ben for Winter and Summer	A very nice Tiffany 4-glass electric clock.	Quite a few Tiffany clocks were displayed.	A Tiffany glass dome model 1 clock.	A Tiffany glass dome model 2 clock.
This shows the Tiffany movement. It looks simple, but works well	Gothic style cased Tiffany electric clock.	These brackets were cast specifically to replace missing parts. Broken sections in front.
