Just to add to what Senior Moments has said, the clock itself (the correct name of which is actually the Great Clock of Westminster) was installed in I think 1854 by Dent and Company who continued to maintain it until the 1960s and possibly later. However, I have an idea that during the 1970s the mechanism was converted from clockwork to electricity and the maintenance contract was transferred elsewhere. There is quite a lot of information on the bell, the clock and the tower in The London Encyclopedia which should be available in any decent library. Jan 30 02, 5:32 AM

Besides Harley Davidson has there been any other American made motorcycles? What, after 70 years, has been replaced by Canary Wharf? Is there any time or place where the general national voting age is or has been set at less than 18? I am trying to discover if at any time in Celtic history there has been any connections between clan McAlpine of Scotland and the O'Reillys of Ireland. Any clues or ideas?
