Time and how to measure it.

I find a clock very useful when measuring time.  Oh look, here's one.  A beautiful wind-up banjo clock with a clipper ship motif.  (Go Clippers!)



This will work too.  A plug-in vintage Four Roses Whiskey clock.


And here's a perpetual calendar - this particular style with winding toggles is known as a "country calendar."  On next week's show we'll discover how to measure distance (perhaps find out what is a country mile).  But isn't that like measuring a measurement?  Oh, well, time flies.  We now know how long but not how far.  I'm beginning to confuse myself now, I better stop.
