Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 57, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1916 — STREET CLOCK PLACED HIGH [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

STREET CLOCK PLACED HIGH

Idea Is Somewhat New, But Would Beem to Have Many Points of Advantage. .In placing a large double-faced clock on a Los Angeles building, the usual practice of employing brackets to support It over the sidewalk was discarded and the dials were put on adjacent sides of the corner column of the

structure between the fourth and fifth floere, relates Popular Mechanics Magazine. The reason for placing It at this rather unusual height was the belief that at such a point it could be readily seen by more persons than If it were set closer to the street level. The faces of the clock are five feet in diameter, while its finish is made to harmonize with that of the building* which is constructed of light-colored; brick.
