    But the best clock I ever saw was an almost finished wooden (all parts, [gears escapements, pendulums, levers, face, numerals and hands] made of scrap wood off the shop floor) clock a friend made. Heath Robinson and Rube Goldberg were heard to play: “After you, Gars-gon” “Non non, after you,Alfonse!” at the gallery opening.
