The Centennial Clock.

The Great Clock for the Centen-
NAL Exhibition, which has been build
ing at Thomaston, is completed. 1t is
Il splendid piece Of work and will nc
doubt do Its duty faithfully. There
are l, 100 pieces, the estimated weight
Of nll being six tons. The main
wheels measure four feet in diameter.
The pendulum ball and rod weigh
700 and 500 pounds, the rod being
~ feet long, and connected with the
clockwork by what is known as gray
lty escapement, and makes two second
beats. The rod is of steel, and to
compensate for contraction and expan-
sion, Is encased in two cylinders, one
OF zinc and one of steel, which
by their relative expansion upward.
maintain 3 uniform centre of oscil-
lation. This escapement is different
from that used in large clocks here
totore constructed by this company.
and some fears were felt about its
success, but every part seems to do It's
work perfectly. The clock stands
elght feet high. There will be sixty
or more dlals connected with the clock.
which will run by electricity, the
hands moving with every beat of the
pendulum. The clock for Independ-
nee Hall will stand about fourteen
inches higher that this one.
