 About the Cover
The Daniel Rose musical tall clock, made in Reading, Pennsylvania, and featured on the front cover, is one of America's most magnificent tall clocks. Made about 200 years ago, the striking beauty of the case is nearly unequalled. The fact that the dial is also a Reading product endears us to the clock even more. The dial features a Reading dial trademark—an eagle perched atop the American shield of red, white, and blue. Where you might expect to see a seconds dial under the roman numeral XII, Rose has provided a days-of -the-week dial. The seconds are indicated by a sweep second hand. While there are four holes in the dial, the clock has only three trains: the far left hole is a design element for the sake of symmetry. Tom Spittler
