Clepsydra: Birmingham, England:
The Conger Street Clock Museum of Eugene, Oregon has a clepsydra (water clock) made in Birmingham, England and dated 1551. The water and float tank have deep reverse tooling and the dial has the carving of a large bird, mountains, and clouds. The base is richly carved and tooled. At high noon you would fill up the water canister until the hand would point to the sun. The next day at high noon, the hand should once again point to the sun. If the hand did not point to the sun, you would adjust the drip rate. You would then remove the reservor and dump the water back into the float canister.
