Everyone said it was impossible. The best clock-makers would struggle to make a dozen clocks in a year. Terry met his obligation to make 4000 in three years for the Porters by developing the first mass production methods and machinery. Parts would be completely interchangeable without further filing and itting. Some consider Terry's accomplishment the most important step toward modern mass production.<br /></p>Emery Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11764300703571229622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189942683079884296.post-12604318921620929702023-12-08T14:07:00.001-05:002023-12-08T14:07:08.468-05:00Seth Thomas Clock Company, Thomaston, CT<div class="" dir="auto"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1l90r2v x1swvt13" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message" id=":r3h:"><div class="x78zum5 xdt5ytf xz62fqu x16ldp7u"><div class="xu06os2 x1ok221b"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x1f6kntn xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"><div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Connecticut is the "clock state."

It had paralleled and connected with the demolished Foundry. It looked no different from this picture taken a month before the Foundry demolition. I guess everything that could have been rattled loose by the demolition had already fallen.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The two rows of windows serve various offices and storage areas that were entered from the foundry. The upper row of windows span from the sand elevator in the north to a stair tower beside the" Tunnel" in the south. It contained a workshop and a long rabbit hole lined with shelves, parts to keep the busy factory running. The lower windows brought little light to a few dingy offices, still furnished and entered from the dark perimeter of the demolished foundry's floor. I imagine once they were busy.<br /></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Judging from calendars still hanging in nearby places, the offices had not been in use since 1983. <br /></span><p></p>Emery Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11764300703571229622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189942683079884296.post-47497849388666852242023-09-08T13:51:00.000-05:002023-09-08T13:51:00.409-05:00Farrel Machine Tool Foundry, c. noon, September 4, 2023<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="" dir="auto"><div class="" dir="auto"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1l90r2v x1swvt13" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message"><div class="x78zum5 xdt5ytf xz62fqu x16ldp7u"><div class="xu06os2 x1ok221b"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x1f6kntn xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"><div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">I just finished assembling as best I could the stitched pan of the empty Farrel Machine Tool foundry site in Ansonia.

My hunch is this photo is mom standing guard and enduring my "shoot." I took eleven images in 45 seconds and left.

house. <br /></div><p></p><p>At 1:30 today, as I returned from my hike, I again passed behind the nest on my way to the front door.
