Engle Monumental Clock at the National Clock and Watch Museum

This was recorded at the National Clock and Watch Museum ( in Columbia, PA. It is a demonstration of the Engle Monumental Clock (

The first known monumental clock made in the United States was the Engle Monumental Clock. The clock was made entirely by clock designer Stephen Decatur Engle in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. It took Engle 20 years to complete the construction of this clock which was finished in 1878. Wanting to display the clock rather than turning a profit, he turned the clock over to two Philadelphia entrepreneurs who marketed the clock as The Eighth Wonder of the World. They toured the clock throughout the Eastern United States, charging 15–25 cents to view it. It continued to tour across the Eastern United States for 70 years before disappearing in 1951. The clock is currently at the National Clock and Watch Museum. Features: The Engle Monumental Clock measures 11' high, 8' wide, and 3' deep and contains three towers. Among its mechanical features are two organ movements, 48 moving figures, and a new type of tellurian (patented by Engle) that illustrates the positions of the moon, constellations, and zodiac relative to the rotating earth. The clock also indicates the day of the week, current month, the phase of the moon, and even the current tides. The clock's first promoter was so convinced of its technical complexity that he offered a reward of $50,000 to anyone who found a clock that did more and worked better. The clock used a number of moving figures including Jesus Christ, the twelve Apostles, the three Marys, Satan, Father Time, the three Ages of Man, Death, Justice, Orpheus, and Linus. Stephen Engle placed an image of himself representing Middle Age as his signature of the clock's maker. On the hour, a skeleton representing Death strikes a bone against a skull attached to the column of the clock. At 15, 30, and 45 minutes past the hour, Father Time strikes a bell with a scythe and turns his sandglass while the central figures of Youth, Middle Age, and Old Age revolve in the arch above the clock dial. At 40 minutes past the hour, a group of revolutionary soldiers appear from the clock while a barrel organ plays patriotic tunes. At 55 minutes past the hour, the three Marys come out of the center tower as a procession of the Apostles takes place accompanied by hymns.

Please Don't Touch!!!

In an effort to warn visitors against touching the exhibits, the National Watch and Clock Museum in Pennsylvania posts a video of a man and woman breaking a rare clock on its YouTube page.

It was about destroyed again in the 1970s to clear a path for finish of the Federal Triangle. Significant remodels happened in 1976 and 1983. The 1983 remodel included a sustenance court and retail space and the building was renamed the Old Post Office Pavilion. An option was added to the structure in 1991. In 2013, the U.S. General Services Administration rented the property to the Trump Old Post Office LLC for a long time.

6. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush:
But for those of us who lived through these events, the only marker that we will ever need is the tick of a clock at the 46th minute of the eighth hour of the eleventh day. We will remember where we were and how we felt. We will remember the dead and what we owe them. We will remember what we lost, and what we found. And in our time, we will honour the memory of the eleventh day by doing our duty as citizens of this great country, freedom's home, and freedom's defender. God Bless.

18. US Flag hanging outside the Pentagon

STORYLINE:

Precisely three months after the first jetliner slammed into the World Trade Center, the American national anthem played on Tuesday at the White House, across the country and throughout the globe.

At 0846 am Eastern Daylight Time (1346 GMT), a drum roll echoed in the East Room, a solemn backdrop for The Star-Spangled Banner.

A few moments later, as he remembered those who lost their lives to September 11s terrorist attacks, President Bush vowed to right this huge wrong.

Bush said America does not need monuments and memorials to grieve the deaths of more than 3-thousand people in suicide hijackings over New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

He said for those who lived through the events, the tick of a clock is reminder enough.

Simultaneously, at the U-S Capitol, lawmakers honoured those lost with a moment of silence.

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said one day soon, the smoke will be gone from ground zero, and the perpetrators who committed the attacks will be brought to justice.

But he said, Americans will never forget those who were taken from the world on September 11th.

Ovation TV | MAYA LIN: An American Revolutionary

After creating the Vietnam War Memorial, Maya Lin became, at the age of twenty-one, one of America's most significant architects and designers. She was born in 1959 in Athens, Ohio, to an academic family -- her father was the Dean of Fine Arts and her mother a professor of literature at Ohio University. In Lin's senior year at Yale Univeristy, she entered the national competition with her design for the Vietnam War Memorial. Chosen from 1,421 unlabeled submissions, Lin's simple black walls with the names of all dead and missing in chronological order has become the most visited monument in Washington. Lin has since designed the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, the enormous translucent clock in the ceiling of New York City's Pennsylvania Station, an ecology based installation along the Columbia River to commemorate the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the Museum of African Art in New York, along with other projects, private homes, and furniture designs.

Teotihuacan and the Making of a World City

2018 Gordon R. Willey Lecture and Reception

Deborah L. Nichols, William J. Bryant 1925 Professor of Anthropology; Chair, Latin America, Latino, and Caribbean Studies, Department of Anthropology, Dartmouth College

In the first century CE, Teotihuacan became the capital of the area known today as Central Mexico. The city grew to include 100,000 people, drawing immigrants from Western Mexico, the Valley of Oaxaca, Veracruz, and the Maya region. Deborah Nichols will discuss how Teotihuacan became the largest and most influential city in Mexico and Central America; how it maintained this position for 500 years through diplomacy, pilgrimages, military incursions, and commerce; why modern scholars consider it a “world city”; and what challenges exist in advancing an understanding of its legacy.
