When my grandfather chimes on the hour it is two hrs. behind. When it is 12:00 instead of 12 chimes it does 10 chimes. 10:00 it does 8 chimes. Is there a fix for this. Thanks in advance for your help. My clock is a Howard Miller. Thanks, Iris
On 21 August 2017, Big Ben’s chimes were silenced for four years to allow essential restoration work to be carried out on the tower. The decision to silence the bells was made to protect the hearing of the workers on the tower, and drew much criticism from senior MPs and Prime Minister Theresa May. Big Ben will chime 11 times at 11am to mark the start of a two-minute silence today. Testing has been carried out on the bells this week to ensure they will sound correctly.4-18-17-4-19-17.
