Changing the clocks

Changing the clock is a manual process in the tower! None of this automatic digital malarkey! It’s a real skill, heritage and tradition!

Changing the clock: the whole device
Loosening the screws so we can turn the dial
Mike passing on the tradition
This is the cog you have to turn to change the time
The minutes are set on the gold disc, close-up here
You have to set the clock a few minutes fast, in order to give yourself time to tighten the screws… …and then flick the motor back on at just the right moment!
Order restored!

Thank you Mike for teaching and to Kate C, Paul C and Charlotte for learning and the pics and report.
