The Chapter holds regular meetings in conjunction with three Regional or National Meetings of NAWCC, as follows:

• the Southern Ohio Regional (usually in April; at Wilmington, OH in 2024)
• the National Convention (usually in June or July; at Chattanooga, TN in 2024)
• the Eastern States Regional (usually in August; at Liverpool, NY in 2020)
• For further information on these meetings, including registration, see the Events page at the NAWCC Website.

The chapter was originally named the Tower Clock Chapter, and focused its interests entirely on tower clocks.  In 2015, the name of the chapter was changed and the focus was expanded to include street clocks; the name of the newsletter was changed accordingly.  The newsletter was renamed again in 2018, without interruption of the current issue numbering system.

Chapter project: Many members of the chapter are involved in restoration of the most complete surviving street clock produced by the Ansonia Clock Company.  Nicknamed "Quincy" (based on its original place of installation), it will eventually be installed in the Public Time area of the National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia, PA.  Its much-traveled history is quite interesting.

• Index to Newsletters, past and present
  
  
• List of clock-related businesses operated by chapter members; includes other members expressing their interests.
  
  
• A memorial to the late Donn Haven Lathrop (1938-2017), who was a prolific researcher and writer in this field.  It includes all of the material rescued from his former Website, some of which was organized under his Clockwork Historian page.  The following sections are especially important:
  
  
  • The care and feeding of tower clocks
    
    
  • Tower clock weights, weight lines and wire ropes
    
    
  • Lists of tower clocks worldwide - the products of early American makers, and where they were installed
  
  Additional material, some related to tower clocks and some not, is included on the memorial page (above).  Chapter 134 provides all this information as a service to the wider community of which Donn was a part.
  
  
• Additional resources for members only

• English-language Wikipedia article on turret clocks (i.e., tower clocks)
• English-language Wikipedia article on clock towers (i.e., towers with clock faces)

  From these two Wikipedia articles, other clock-related articles can be found.  However, there is not yet an article about street clocks.

• At the Waymarking Website, the category Town Clocks identifies more than 7000 tower clocks, street clocks, outdoor bracket clocks and other varieties of public clocks, and the number grows daily.  (So it might better be named Public Clocks.)  Unfortunately, it takes extra steps to get into that category from a feasible URL.  On the page linked above, enter "town clocks" into the "find a category" search field.  Two categories show up, along with their definitions; click on Town Clocks.  You will see the first of many pages of listings, sorted by default into chronological order by date of posting.  You can change the sort order with the dropdown menu in the gray Waymarks panel; you can also expand the blue Search Criteria panel to restrict the listing to a particular state, or filter it in other ways.

• The Website of the association for tower clockworks in the Netherlands is in Dutch, but includes a helpful locator map for over 800 such clocks.
