Early within the 17th Century quite a few years prior to clocks were being carved in the Black Forest, Philipp Hainhofer (21 July 1578 - 1647)a merchant, banker, diplomat and art collector in Augsburg, wrote about a cuckoo clock which was owned by Prince Elector August von Sachsen. This is the first known description of a Cuckoo Clock. At that time Europe was within the middle of a weather phenomenon known as the "Little Ice Age" which brought very cold temperatures within the winter. Athanasius Kircher was a 17th century German Jesuit scholar (1650). In his handbook on music Athanasiius described a mechanical organ that had many automated figures which includes a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the first to document in words and pictures the mechanical workings of the cuckoo clock. It goes on to describe how the mechanical cuckoo can automatically open it's beak though at the identical time the cuckoo can move both the wings plus the tail. As the beak opens and closes 1 hears the call of the cuckoo. Inside the clock are two organ pipes which are responsible for generating the call of the cuckoo.

Cuckoo Clocks: A Brief History; Until the early 1600's, time telling devises in Germany consisted of sundials and hourglasses. All of that changed in 1630, when a man named Franz Kettler from Triberg, Germany went to what's now the Czech Republic, and brought back the notion of a clock. It was a basic design, referred to as a wooden beam clock, and had wooden gears and stones as weights. Soon, clock making became a source of pride, and provided occupation during winter months. A unique group called the Hauslers developed. These men were the younger sons of land owners, and utilized clock producing as an additional source of income.
I have a retro rocketship playstructure from the 60s. Where can I get a replacement metal slide?
I have a playground slide structure in the shape of a rocket ship, it is in perfect shape except the slide is missing. The structure is nearly as tall as my single story home. The slide desk is about 6-7 feet off the ground. I would like to replace it with a metal slide to be as close to the original as possible. What companies create custom slides, sell replacement METAL slides, or have the capabilities to do so. It seems that all of the playground supply companies only sell prefab and plastic slides now.
THANKS!
I once made a metal slide for my children . I bought metal sheet cut to my measurements and found some thin wall metal irrigation pipe 3" diameter (I was on a farm then) and riveted the metal sheet to the underside of the pipe. Really easy it worked fine. But I did need to ensure that there were no rough edges.
