The Alfred Loomis story is very interesting. Thanks for bringing it
up again. The PBS American Experience episode is certainly worth
watching.
A question for TVB (or anyone else that might know), what happened to
the three Shortt clocks that he had? Also of interest would be how
many still exist today, and how many in running condition (and
Fedchenko and Riefler)?
There is something very satisfying about the tick-tock of a pendulum
clock, though I realize the Shortt's were not direct drive.
