📼Video Summary:
The clock tower was built in the 1840s and 1850s but it wasn't until 1862 that the clock was fully functional. It has been ticking almost non-stop now for almost 150 years! There are stairs that go up the very center of the tower and they are also putting in a service elevator in one of the open shafts. The Clock Room is where the mechanism is - this is referred to as the Clock Movement. It's made up of 3 gear trains - the Striking Train, Going Train, and the Chiming Train. The Going Train turns the hands on each of the four dials, the Chiming Train rings the 4 quarter bells, and the Striking Train is responsible for ringing the largest bell "Big Ben". During the video you'll learn more specifically about the parts of the Going Train: the Escape Wheel, Gravity Arms, and the Pendulum. The bells are located above in the Belfry. Every half hour bells will play at least part of the Westminster Chimes. At the very top is the Ayrton Light - used to indicate when Parliament is in session down below.
The renovation that started in 2017 is set to complete in summer to 2022.
