On our covers are two variations of Silas Burnham Terry's unique clocks which use the balance wheel escapement attributed to his father, Eli Terry. On the front cover, an Empire column shelf clock; on the back cover, an oversized steeple clock. The clocks were gratiously donated to the NAWCC Museum by member August Van Dessel. For more information about these exceptional clocks, including illustrations of the movement, see pages 169-170.
