Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - During the years of 1767-1770 David Rittenhouse designed and produced two orreries, one for Princeton Univ. and one for the Univ. of PA. During the last two years of this interval he also produced two 30-day musical tall-cased clocks. The first clock, built in 1769, is currently owned by the PA Hospital. The following year (1770) Rittenhouse made a second tall-case musical clock, which was more elaborate than the first. This clock, currently owned by Drexel Univ., is a very good example of Rittenhouse's work as it has experienced only minor changes over the years. This was the masterpiece of his clock-making career and is a national historical treasure. Here is a detailed analysis of the various gears in the clock. 100+ drawings and full-color photos.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Strasbourg Cathedral's astronomical clock is one of the most famous monuments to Time in the world. No other clock has been described and appreciated so often and in such a myriad of ways. There were three clocks built consecutively within the cathedral: the earlier fourteenth century clock has left little trace; a second clock was realized in 1570-1574; while the nineteenth century clock began as a proposal for repairs, but was intended by its maker as a replacement clock. This book gives a detailed outline of the artistic and technical components of the second clock, much of which survives, and it describes the astronomical indications and its underlying conceptual framework. The author has discovered a hitherto disregarded contemporary statement that the clock displays four ways of determining the ascendant as described by Ptolemy. He also shows that the Strasbourg clock is the result of a highly original reception of the architectural theory of Vitruvius and other mathematical and mechanical texts of Late Antiquity. Revised and updated translation from the German edition Die Straßburger Münsteruhr: Funktion und Bedeutung eines Kosmos-Modells des 16. Jahrhunderts. Published by GNT-Verlag in 1993.
