U.S. Route 66, also known as the Will Rogers Highway and colloquially known as the Main Street of America or the Mother Road, was one of the original highways within the U.S. Highway System. Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926, with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before ending at Santa Monica, California, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km). It was recognized in popular culture by both the hit song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.

CLOCK
A clock is an instrument used for indicating and maintaining time and the passage thereof. Although the Egyptians and Romans kept time by the use of the hourglass and dripping water, mechanical, weight-driven clocks were first developed during the Middle Ages. These large clocks were found in public places such as government buildings and churches and only had an hour hand. By the mid-1600s, spring-driven clocks were keeping much more accurate time with the principle of the pendulum and the minute and second hands appeared. Until the 1800s, clocks were hand-made and expensive, however with the advent of machinery to produce clock parts in the Industrial Revolution, the clock became a common object in most households.
