Turnback Tuesday has a repair statement written to Miss Grace Child, the first Head Librarian at Derby Public Library.
Miss Child wrote to this company that installed our beautiful atrium clock with the realization that the chimes were playing incorrectly.
Miss Child stated: “The chimes on the clock are not the same as the Westminster Chimes heard on the Cathedrals of England.”
Here is the response from the Walter H. Durfee & Co. of R.I. (and transcription) about how to make the repair.
The original letter is dated Sept. 16, 1904.

Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
