About the Cover The tower clock is the landmark at the Columbia NAWC complex and as such is a fitting image to include with a tribute to our institute volunteers. The clock tower always looks its best against the sky colors of sunset and early evening. Last year photographer Jan Ainge captured several beautiful images of the tower—this cover image includes a glimpse of the river town of Columbia as well.
This tower clock, which stands directly across from the School of Horology, was built to house a nineteenth century E. Howard movement that was a gift to the NAWCC from the state of New York. The tower is made of concrete block with ornamental veneered brickwork. The cupola is made of anodized aluminum. Two narrow windows frame the bells in the carillon, and below, through a large plate window, visitors can view the workings of the movement. The clock plays Westminster chimes at the quarter-hour and strikes the hour. Photography by Jan Ainge
