- Summary
- COI synopsis: We show how a do-it-yourself clock may be assembled, demonstrated by a Sierra Leonian employee of London’s oldest clockmaker - the firm that made Big Ben, the bell that chimes the hours from the clock over the Houses of Parliament. A prize of a Visikit clock will be sent to the first competitor who answers correctly the question "How many hands has Big Ben?"
