Speaker: We were fortunate to have Richard Husher, an expert on Simon Willard's clocks to presents the story of the "Light House" clock. He has co-authored a book "The Study of Simon Willard's Clocks."

|
| Richard's talk was actually a bit of history on clock making with a focus on Willard clocks. Here he theorizes the banjo style clock was inspired by wheel barometers that existed at the time. |

|
|
|
|
| Richard also believes the lighthouse style clocks were inspired by skeleton clocks. |
