The Gastown Steam Clock
Designed and built by
Ramond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distrubtors Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weights over two tons




Gastown

This clock is located at the western boundary of the old Granville townsite, known as gastown. In 1870, the shore of Burrard Inlet was only a few yards north of this point. Through the early 1900's Gastown was the centre of Vancouvers. By the 1960's it had become the centre of Vancouver's 'skid road'. In the early 1900's it was rehabilitated to its former stature. The success of its reabilitation was due to property owners, retailers, and all the people of Gastown working together with City Council and civic departments. The townsite comittee, composed of the property owners of gastown, were responsible for the beautification of the streets. John W. Parker served as the chairman of the comittee between Jan. 1967 to Sept. 1977.
