 : Great clock of St. Paul's worked by hand during repairs


Great clock of St. Paul's worked by hand during repairs

Front cover of The Illustrated London News showing the great clock of St. Paul's Cathedral worked by hand during recent repairs - moving the mechanism. Drawing by Bryan de Grineau shows special clock-repairers from Derby (where the clock was made by Messrs. Smith) working it by hand whilst new parts were adjusted. They moved the hands as if the clock were going normally, synchronising exactly at each quarter
