Peterborough cathedral has the old
est working clock in England. 1t was
erected about 1890 and is probably the
work of monastic clockmaker. 1t is

ference. and the galvanized cable,

which has to be wound up daily.
The clock is said to be of much more
primitive construction than that made
by Henry de Nick for Charles V. OF
France in 1870. The clock chamber
Is in the northwest tower, some 100
feet high, where the sunlight has not
penetrated for hundreds of years, and
the winding is done by the light of a
candle.
The gong is the great tenor bell OF
the cathedral, which weighs thirty
two hundredweight. and 1t is struck
hourly by an eighty pound hammer
The going and the striking parts of
the clock are some yards apart, com
munication being by slender wire.
The clock has no dial. The time is
shown on the main wheel of the es-
capement, which goes round once In
