Inspired by a news article on restoration of the clockworrks at Madley, Herts., I write to ask whether there is a national list of tower clocks comparable to what Dove provides for bells. If so, is anyone considering connecting such a list with Dove? or expanding
Dove to include mentions of ancillary equipment? Madley, for example, has a restored Ellacombe rack that operates on all eight bells, plus a tower clock that strikes the hour as well as the half hour (and perhaps the quarters as well). But neither of those
facilities is mentioned in Dove's entry for Madley, so it is not clear which of the eight serve also as clock bells. Other rings have associated chiming machines of various kinds, probably also associated with clockworks.</div>

Currently I am working on a project to consolidate lists of known products of American tower clock manufacturers, with the aim of eventually connecting that with the various surviving lists of the products of American bellfounders. I hope to increase tower
clock enthusiasts' appreciation of the bells associated with such clocks, and vice versa.</div>
