We Replaced the clock motors in the Clock tower at the Regions bank in Douglasville, Ga this week. Had a great time. Its amazing that the motor to run each clock is about the size of silver dollar. I'm so glad all the work was done on the inside of the tower. It's not allot of fun having to work out on the outside, especially in the rain. Plus having to get permits to block off the street is a hassle, but sometimes has to be done. All worked out, got the clock up and running hopefully the bank will learn how to set the clock for daylight savings time. This was a real fun project, I look forward to doing some more like it again soon. Unfortunately clock towers are few and far between, however the few I see are usually broken or way off time. There was once a time that most towns people depended on the towns clock tower. Most people set their pocket watches to the towns clock tower.
My how times have changed and how times have stayed the same. Pocket watches were the way most people told time. Its funny how most of us carry a Modern day pocket watch again. (our phones). Maybe clock towers will come back again
