Quite a few of us have fond childhood memories of a special cuckoo clock, possibly at a grandparent's house, or even in our own. Who doesn't remember the feeling of delight when that sweet, beguiling small bird would appear and fill the room with its song? Even though many individuals have cuckoo clocks as treasured keepsakes, the history of these fantastic clocks is often unknown. It is a rich and fascinating history and is worth exploring. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Glass Binocular Magnifier you might see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks created.
Domenico Martinelli an ordained preist (1669) was the author of a book on elementary clock which bore the title "Horologi Elementari". In this book Domenico advocates making use of the call of the cuckoo to designate the hours. At that time the mechanics of a working cuckoo clock was already identified, and any clockmaker who could also ready would recognize that it was both practical and advantageous to have the cuckoo sound off the hours. Consequently cuckoo clocks began appearing in areas that had not previously been known for their clock creating. It would be several more decades just before Cuckoo Clocks began appearing in the Black Forest.
Can you recommend magnifiers and other visual aids for Macular Degeneration?
My 88-year-old Aunt has fairly severe Macular Degeneration in both eyes and I want to get her the best visual aid/magnifier that I can. I'm mainly interested in straight optical devices, but if you know of a video device that's particularly good, I would be interested in that too. I bought her a 2-inch diameter 5x aspherical magnifier and she likes it, but wants something bigger (larger diameter). I've seen these binocular glasses that look interesting, but I don't know what to think about them. Any advice will be appreciated.
There are many kinds of devices available and many kinds of people that will try sell you something. I am biased, but I urge you to take a look at our web site at www.bierley.com and give our products some thought. We help tens of thousands of people each year and would be pleased to help your aunt too.
