Eli Terry Sr. (April 13, 1772
February 24, 1852) was an inventor and Clockmaker
in Connecticut. He received a United States
patent for a shelf clock mechanism. He introduced
mass production to the art of clock making, which
made clocks affordable for the average American

beginnings of the development of interchangeable
parts manufacturing. Terry became one of the most
accomplished mechanics in New England during the
early part of the nineteenth century. The village
