Summary

[edit]
Description

To ensure that the Liberty Bell remains all it's cracked up to be—but not a micron more—engineers attached wireless sensors to monitor the slightest changes in the Bell's famous fissure as the Liberty Bell was moved into its new home on October 9, 2003. Andrew Lins (sitting), chief conservator of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and metals conservation consultant to the National Park Service on preserving the Liberty Bell, worked with MicroStrain’s Steven Mundell to carefully clamp sensor devices to the icon.
