Publisher's Synopsis

In 1733 Henry Bridges of Waltham Abbey announced his giant astronomical musical clock was on display. For over 40 years it toured Britain and the Americas entertaining, inspiring and educating the public to become the most widely viewed show of its age. As new astronomical discoveries were made, additions were made to the machine, including a perpetual motion machine. Part of it is on display in the British Museum.
