When my friend and I were in Vancouver in 2010 (to meet Richard Dean Anderson) we recreated the scene from the "MacGyver" opening credits where he eats ice cream in front of the steam clock in gastown. As there is no MacGyver figure we used Jack from "Stargate SG-1" who is also played by RDA.

A must-see attraction for tourists visiting Gastown, Vancouver's iconic Steam Clock is an impressive display.

Gastown Steam Clock in Vancouver, British Columbia, built in 1977 by horologist Raymond Saunders and metalwork specialist Doug Smith.

The clockworks are powered by descending weights. The mini-steam engine at the base of the clock case takes up the role of the human "winder" by raising a series of ball weights and delivering the weights to the clock drive train. But the steam engine is connected by a rubber belt to an electric motor hidden from view to help with accuracy.

Every quarter-hour, the two-ton Steam Clock whistles the Westminster Chime. On the hour it marks each hour with a toot from each of its five whistles.
