On a bright August morning, Verdin Installation Technician Rick Morin carefully assembled and hoisted Widener University's new clock into position. An alumni project, it's the centerpiece of a new crosswalk.
First the post was hoisted and bolted securely onto the foundation. Then the head was lifted onto the post. Staff members from the University's Facilities Department were then instructed in the clock's operation and care.
A small crane is needed for just a few hours to install our larger clocks. Our Technicians do all the work.
This clock is our Howard Replica/Seth Thomas four-dial Victorian. A real classic. A traditional dial face of Roman Numerals was appropriate for an academic institution. Two of the headers read, "WIDENER". The opposite headers read, "PRIDE".
Contact Doug Gefvert, your Verdin Representative. He'll show you how you can get a Verdin clock. Alumni love giving to clock projects. Let Doug show you how easy fund raising can be. Call him at 610-265-5211 or email him at dgefvert@verizon.net today.
