| The world's first steam-powered clock (in the Gastown quarter). The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity-driven "Falling Ball" drive was engineered by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributors Ltd. The component parts cost $42,000 (currently $4.95 American) and the clock weighs over two tons.
