Excerpt from Protest of Warren S. Johnson to Report of Sub-Committee on the Philadelphia City Hall Clock
It appears to me that the methods employed in the design and construction of this apparatus are sufficiently novel and original to warrant the committee in taking a favorable view of the same. And it is possible that they may even be disposed to grant you one of the medals in their gift, which might indirectly or directly be of service to you. I send you accordingly a blank form of application to be filled out. And on receipt of same properly signed and accompanied by the information desired by committee, it will be officially brought to the committee's notice.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the technical discoveries and institutional decisions that shaped the mechanisms of the Philadelphia's City Hall's famed astronomical clock, built between 1899-1902, and weighing over 50,000 pounds. The author, a specialist in horology, gives an insider's narrative of one of the largest and most accurate timekeeping devices of its era, a project that presented the challenge of having the dials more than 280 feet above the street below. He discusses the methods used to operate the clock and its dials, arguing the clock was a historic success of the new electrical technology. Along the way, the author details the bureaucratic struggles, inaccuracies, and political interference that plagued the clock's inception and installation. Ultimately, this book provides a rich account of both the science and politics behind one of Philadelphia's architectural landmarks.
