520 | _aThis richly illustrated volume is a reflective look at The Railroad Time Service, the interpretive exhibit presented during the 71st Annual National Convention of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Incorporated, June 17-20, 2015, in Chattanooga, TN. A chronological review describing the development of timekeeping methods adopted by North America's railroads, the exhibit displayed numerous examples of classic clocks and watches with railroad provenance, as well as earlier instruments used for time measurement. This documentary is replete with full color photographs showcasing each of the exhibit's prominent features and contains an introductory narrative summarizing the Railroad Time Service and its enduring effects on and contributing to American society. This compelling account of American railroad horology should appeal to timepiece collectors and railfans alike. The casual reader will find this book easy to read, yet immensely informative. -- provided by amazon.com. | ||
