A CLOCK IN A BOTTLE.
The Way This Marvel Of Mechanism
Was Constructed

A German clockmaker living in the
little village of CONNER. near Magde-
burg, built a clock in a bottle. The
maker, ii. Rosin, secured a strong
movement with cylinder escapement
measuring forty-five millimeters and
began by saving the plate into halves.
The opening in the neck of the bottle
measures fifteen millimeters, and in
order to get these halves into the bot
tie he cut another segment Off each of
the halves of the plate. He built sort
of tripod as a resting place for the
movement. This tripod was assembled
after he had introduced its parts into
the bottle separately. The tripod is so
constructed that IL cannot turn when
the movement IS being wound. The
four pieces of the plate were fastened
side by side by means of screws TO
the platform attached to the tripod, a
long screwdriver and other tools espe-
cially constructed for the purpose hav-
ing been used for this operation. When
the plate was put together, the clock
maker proceeded to put ali the parts
of the movement in their original
places with the motion wheels for the
hands a ring of white metal was
placed around the neck of the bottle,
and upon this ring was soldered a
round plate, thus closing the opening.
On this cover were fastened in an in
clined position the arms which serve
as a support for the dial.
The dial Is made of a ground glass
plate which has diameter of twenty
centimeters. The black numbers on the
dial are cut skeleton fashion and ce-
mented TO the glass. At night one can
tell the time by placing a light behind
the dial.-Technical World.
