Retro Food Clock
This was the second half of the Leftovers Trade. The clockworks inspired me to come up with this. The images came from my stash of retro recipe pamphlets. Most of these were inherited from my grandmother. I haven't been brave enough to try and cook any of them.
Clock Tower in Brockwell Park, it is a similar design as 'Little Ben' at the Victoria End of Vauxhall Bridge Road.
Abberley is home to Abberley Hall School, a preparatory school set in the grounds of Abberley Hall, which also contain the Abberley Clock Tower, the setting for the children's book by Gene Kemp, The Clock Tower Ghost.
The name Abberley probably relates to the 6th century Saxon chief Eobald, by way of Eobaldelega, then Eobaldsleigh. Abberley is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086-7 as Edboldelege, when it was The Clock Tower was commissioned in 1882 and plans were drawn up by the architect J.P. St. Aubyn. The builders were Patman and Fotheringham and their master mason was George Long.
Work began on 29th June 1883 and the topping out was on lst October 1884. On 10th June 1885 a final account was rendered for a total cost of £7980.
The height of the Clock Tower is 161 feet. It has three lower rooms, a sewing room and a clock room as well as two flushing WC's (no longer in use).
The clock is by J.B. Joyce of Whitchurch, the firm which still services it.
The building is certainly prominent and can be seen from six counties. The carillon consisted of 16 bells weighing a total of 21 tons. These were raised into position through a series of trapdoors in each of the floors between ground level and the belfry. The heavy sound louvres are made of 1 1/4 inch plate glass, which have survived intact save one which was broken by a thunderbolt in 1969. Features include the four mosaic clock faces, a sundial and the Jones coat of arms.
Please Note: The Clock Tower forms part of a private estate and is not open to visitors, except on advertised open days.
In 1880, John Joseph Jones, a man of substantial wealth, inherited the Abberley Hall estate. Two years later he commissioned a carillon and clock tower, to be built on Merritt's Hill due north of Abberley Hall. Work began in June 1883 and the edifice was completed in October 1884. This was remarkable progress at a time that most building materials had to be delivered to the site by horse transport, as contemporary photographs show.

"The tower housing the Graz clock dates from the 13th century. It is first mentioned as a fortification in 1265. The clock itself was installed in 1569. A wooden battlement and walk encircle the tower. Fire watchmen used the battlement to keep a watchful eye on the city.
In 1712 a second dial was added on the north side of the tower and new clockwork developed. The hour hand was larger than the minute hand so the hours could be more easily read from far off.
During the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809, the Tower fell into the hands of Napoleon. The fortifications were to be demolished by the Armistice of Znaim. However, the citizens of Graz were able to pay a ransom for the tower and clock.
The Clock Tower underwent a thorough restoration between 2008 and 2011. The battlements were renewed, and the clock dials and hands repaired. Three bells are kept in the tower. The hourly bell installed in 1382 is the oldest bell in Graz. The fire bell installed in 1645 tolled out the locations of fires. The poor sinners' bell installed in 1450 was rung for executions or curfew." from www.gpsmycity.com/attractions/uhrturm-(clock-tower)-30557.html

The Wells Cathedral clock is an astronomical clock in the north transept of Wells Cathedral, England. The clock is one of the group of famous 14th to 16th century astronomical clocks to be found in the West of England. The surviving mechanism, dated to between 1386 and 1392, was replaced in the 19th century, and was eventually moved to the Science Museum in London, where it continues to operate. The dial represents the geocentric view of the universe, with sun and moon revolving round a central fixed earth. It may be unique in showing a philosophical model of the pre-Copernican universe.

Close up of my Great Grandfather and Grandfather's clock from the late 1800's. I've had it completely rebuilt. The clocksmith told me to expect it to be off +/- 5 mintues/week. It's off +/- 5 seconds a week. Better than new!
My first time using Diafine and Tri-X. What a combination. I was really worried that the mid-tones would disappear shooting at ISO 1600, but everything's there. As an experiment, I shot each scene at 11600 and 800. The 800 had a definite lack of contrast and looked flat. 1600 it is.

This Bundy clock is situated at the Severn Valley Railway Kidderminster, and it was was in regular use providing a reliable method of time recording for the Birmingham Bus and Tram system. The unit was re-commissioned by Councillor Worrall, the Chairman of the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority at a special ceremony on 14th October 2001.
A paper tape transport with recording printer sits in the centre box. The time clock itself, can be seen at the top of the stack. A transfer drive spindle synchronises the two units.
The driver would place a key coded to his duty, in a slot in the centre box and turn it. The print mechanism then printed his key number and the arrival time on the paper tape.
