June 17 Session Info:
"It's About Time!"

Telling time was not always the simple matter it is today. Until the process was standardized beginning in the late 19th century, there were many unsuspected consequences and complications when traveling between, and even within, cities. Pittsburgh played a significant role in shaping the method by which time was determined and distributed due to a convergence of businesses such as the Pennsylvania Railroad, institutions like Allegheny Observatory, and personalities, principally industrialist William Thaw and astronomer Samuel Langley. It is a story tightly interwoven with regional industrial growth, as well as railroad expansion and consolidation.

Presented by Ken Kobus, a third-generation steelworker employed by the US Steel Corporation at its Clairton Coke Plant. Kobus co-authored "The Pennsy in the Steel City" and "The Pennsylvania Railroads Golden Triangle." He chaired the restoration of a historic Andrew Carnegie 11-inch refracting telescope built by John Brashear for the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh where he's a 40-year member. Ken serves on the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historical Society.
