Largest Clock in the World in Parliament London's timepiece
The piece describes the colossal clock in the English Parliament in London with four dials each 32 feet across, a minute hand that moves 14 inches per minute, and an eight and a half day wind. It notes the 15 foot pendulum, cast iron gears, and an eight foot hour bell weighing fifteen tons, with a heavy hammer. It adds a London street anecdote praising Lord Shaftesbury for aiding a crossing girl, highlighting simple trust as his greatest compliment.

Largest Locomotive Built at Baldwin Works to Ship
The Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia built the heaviest locomotive for the St. Clair Tunnel Company. Four tank locomotives with 760 gross tons hauling capacity and 105 feet per mile grade will be shipped next week to traverse the two mile tunnel under the St Clair river linking Port Sarnia and Port Huron. The engines lack tenders, carry 2000 gallons, and require sectional disassembly for transport due to their weight.
