EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the 1850s showcases the intricate workings of John Moore & Sons Clock Factory, specifically their chiming machine. The image offers a rare glimpse into the mechanical world of clock manufacturing during the Victorian era. The chiming machine, a crucial component in the production process, is depicted in the foreground with its elaborate cogs and wheels on full display. These wooden cogwheels, meticulously crafted and interconnected, are the heart of the machine, responsible for producing the melodic chimes that mark the passage of time. In the background, a plan of the proposed turret clock for the Royal Exchange is sketched out. The turret clock, a grand timepiece, would have been a prominent feature of the exchange, keeping time for the bustling commercial center. The intricate design of the clock, with its cogged wheels and intricate gears, is a testament to the precision and craftsmanship of John Moore & Sons Clock Factory. The photograph not only showcases the beauty and complexity of the clock manufacturing process but also highlights the importance of mechanical equipment in the industrial age. The cogs and wheels, once turned by hand, would have set in motion a series of events that led to the creation of a perfectly synchronized timepiece. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of clock manufacturing during a time when time itself was a valuable commodity.
