Replacement Project 3/08
Clock Tower Story Replacement Project 3/08

March 21, 2008 marked the completion of the 2007/2008 clockworks replacement project of the Coquina Clock Tower in Daytona Beach. Chapter 154 members Jim Zeisler and Tom Bransford had Daytona Beach city workers start up the recently mounted new electric clock motors, and then they installed the new hour and minute hands on each of the four dials from a bucket truck provided by the city of Daytona Beach.

The following pictures were taken at the event on March 21, 2008:
