Every day thousands of Londoners set their watches by Big Ben. Every 15 minutes they can hear the bells of Big Ben. This most famous clock in the world is always correct. Well, almost always. In 1976 the bells in the clock tower did not ring for 51 hours. It was the first time for 20 years that Big Ben had been silent for so many hours.
It was the first time for 20 years that Big Ben had been silent for so many hours. Three men always came at once if there was any problem with Big Ben. But they were not necessary this time. Mr. John Vernon, director of the company of clockmakers who looked after Big Ben, stopped the bell himself because painters were coming to the clock room to give it a new coat of paint at the top of the 66-meter tower.
"My job is very important, "said Mr. Vernon." Everyone looks at the clock. If something, everyone wants to know why. "But Mr. Vernon had to stop the bells. Tile wheels that moved the bells were very close to the walls, and the bell swung only two centimeters away from the wall the painters were going to paint. That’s why the bells in the clock tower did not ring for so many hours.
