Shown above is a broadside for the Engle Clock, a monumental automaton clock built over a period of 20 years by Stephen D. Engle (1837-1921) in Hazleton Pennsylvania, and completed around 1878.

The clock is 11' high, 8' wide, and 3' deep, and was exhibited all over the United States. It was thought to be lost after its last appearance in 1951, but was tracked down by members of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors in 1988.

After a painstaking restoration, the clock is fully functional and may be viewed in operation at the Association's museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania.
