Epigraph

Dedication

This book is dedicated to Benjamin Tyson Schmauk 1853-1939 gentleman and clockmaker who carried forward the traditions of the past and preserved them for the future

First words

The weight-and-pendulum clock in a tall case, now universally known as the grandfather's clock, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania came into being in the same period. This cannot be dismissed as a mere coincidence.
