Chapter 72 held a one day exhibit at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour in Sydney on Sunday 7th November 2004.  This complemented a museum special exhibit of time, notably with a model of H1, Harrison's first chronometer, on loan from  Royal Observatory at Greenwich.  Several of our members set up H1 for the museum under instruction from Greenwich.  The exhibit was set up in about 2 hours and dismantled in about 1 1/2 hours.  About 250 clocks and as many watches and other horological items were on display.  The depth of the exhibition was marvelous as it ranged from pocket watch keys, watch stands, comic watches, tools and a variety of clocks from chronometers to a turret or tower timepiece.  Pictures illustrate these below.  click to enlarge.  By all accounts the club did a great job and furthered our aims to educate the public on these magnificent machines.
