Excerpt from The Tower Clock: Designed and Made for the University of Chicago

The clock was designed from a purely mechanical stand point and without any preconceived or sentimental ideas, but simply as a machine to keep time, the object being to do the work accurately with the least possible number of parts and those parts of the simplest form. F Or the reasons above stated it was decided to build the clock as three separate machines to be mounted on a common bed-plate.
