An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.

Let's see, Thanksgiving 1959, she must have been pregnant with my brother Alan. From the looks of that wall (and the Kit-Cat Clock), I don't think this was our house. It might have been my grandfather's house in Pittsburgh.

A bird's wing brushed my face last year,
And the instant was caught on reel
By the man with the clock that spins backward.
A spell in time,
With the bird who will not rhyme,
Making circles in the flight of infinite emotion.
If I remove the hands of the clock,
Will the hours count more moments?
A sweep of the hand seems too short,
But the calendar of my pounding heart says I have known the bird for a lifetime.
Tomorrow, I will steal a clock from that keeper of reverse time,
And circle it in red paint with a feather. :-)

A close-up of the figures on the town clock, including the crowing cock in the top window. The figures on the sides (left to right) are Vanity (with mirror), Greed (money lender), Death (skeleton), and The Turk (symbol of lust) - all of which move just before the clock strikes the hour. The astronomical clock shows three types of time: outer ring is medieval Bohemian time (24 hour slots starting at the setting of sun); a ring of Roman numerals which tells time as we know it; and the blue part of the clock which is Babylonian time (12 hours of daylight varying in length according to the time of the year). The clock also shows the sun's movement through the signs of the zodiac.
