Clockmaker Inside Clock Moving the Hands

1927

Hand Guides Clock.

London. — When the clock of the famous St. Paul's cathedral broke down recently, the hands were moved around by a man's finger in order that thousands of city clerks would not arrive late to work. Repairs took most of the day, and all that time a clockmaker with a watch before his eyes gradually moved the minute hand, second by second, until the mechanism was fixed.
