The Borghesi Astronomical Clock in the Museum of History and Technology Contributions from the Museum of History and Technology, Paper 35

** "The Borghesi Astronomical Clock in the Museum of History and Technology" by Silvio A. Bedini is a study of an 18th-century astronomical clock and the minds behind it. The book, probably from the mid-20th century, tells the story of Father Francesco Borghesi, who dreamed up the idea for the clock, and Bartolomeo Antonio Bertolla, the clockmaker who brought it to life. Father Borghesi wanted to create a clock that could show the movements of the stars and planets. The publication goes into how Borghesi and Bertolla worked together, overcame problems, and used new ideas to build the clock. The book shows the clock's journey from a simple concept to a complex machine of historical importance, ending with its display in the Museum of History and Technology. **
