From 1939, the chimes rang on the quarter hours continuously, but the clock face was darkened at
night to prevent attack by the heavily armed Zeppelins. Though the clock functioned perfectly during the
war and up to 1962, heavy snow and ice that New Year’s Eve caused the pendulum to abruptly detach
split infinitive from the clockwork to avoid damaging seriously the sensitively-tuned mechanism. The
1963 New Year was ten minutes late. Not often silent, the Great Clock shut down for 26 separate days in
1976 and
1977 due to ‘torsional fatigue’; however popular myth has it that the clock got fed up with the
exceptionally hot summer of 1976 and gave itself a holiday too. May 2005 briefly saw a shut-down, also
attributable to hot weather.
