Steamclocks
Posted by on November 23rd,2006
Mike ST (creator of the lovely real brass goggles) sends word about the Steam Clocks around the world – the one above being from Vancouver in Canada. Wikipedia has a good page on the existance of these clocks, rare as they are, and I was surprised at their modernity! Apparently most of them were created to look Victorian and installed somewhere around the 1970′s. As Mike points out, they’re powered by Stuart engines – and Stuart as a steam engine company are still around today, based in the Channel Islands.
