Ring of rings

NY&QEL&PCo 12x24x24 ring manhole cover
This 12 by 24 by 24 ring pattern appears on a manhole cover of the New York & Queens Electric Light & Power Company.  That company is now part of Consolidated Edison.

 No doubt when NY&QEL&PCo was consolidated into ConEd, Con Ed also acquired the intellectual property rights of NY&QEL&PCo.  Con Edison modified that design, creating an updated manhole cover with the Con Edison Co. logo.

 This "updated" electrical utility cover was made in India.

    That would make for an interesting clock face.

    The original ring layout is better.
