On the subject of watches, the Springfield Watch Company built a 9" refractor telescope just after the turn of the century to assist them in setting the correct time. Yes, this was some time ago. Anyway, in the 30's the company went bankrupt and denoted the scope to Bradley. It sat under the bleachers at the field house until 1956 at which time it was donated to the Peoria Astronomical Society. They still have it out at Northmoor Observatory located on Donovan Golf Course on Knoxville in Peoria. The observatory is open for viewing free to the public on Saturday evenings during the summer weather permitting. I'm hosting October 7th.
