HUTCH --
Thanks for starting this wonderful thread. There are some very impressive feats of engineering that I had never heard of. I really enjoyed the photos and stories. In Graham Buxton's post, that very, very long ladder that all those men are climbing on is almost unbelievable!

Here is a clickable link to the page about the Hamilton Railroad pocket watch that you wanted to show us:

http://kenrockwell.com/watches/hamilton/992b.htm

Thanks, HUTCH, for that URL -- I learned some very interesting things from that article.

That watch is an incredible piece of high-precision engineering, and is a real work of art. Keeps better time than a modern electronic watch!
