She is brilliant and I was too quick to judge her on appearance, but I watched and then I continue to watch this, and since I’ve been waiting for anything new with Marie to come on, she is absolute gold. She reminds me of the best of the BBC from years, before he got infested by left-wing woke ism, she is absolutely brilliant anybody making a judgement it’s easy to be done but Mary really is that special person she’s really an incredible personality very fun, very engaging and highly entertaining and also anyone who speaks Latin in my book is good

Old clocks should have no electronics on them. Might as well scrap it and melt it to make cheap bushings. Not only is this robbing the next generation of an experienced operator that might keep the mechanism in top shape, but it's also a bit disrespectful. The museum's top spenders could be fleeced for the pay. They probably don't need to ride in expensive furnishings.

I'm reading her book, Women and Power: a Manifesto, which is two of her lectures published in book form. And I've watched her BBC series on Rome. And her debate with Boris Johnson. I admire her greatly. I must, however, write that it's only her hair that makes me cringe, as I have when I've seen other women with long, stringy hair. How might it look in a long, beautiful, silvery braid over one shoulder or in a chignon. Perhaps it would even enhance her celebrity, her pulchritude. And too, I hold men to standards of appearance. No long, stringy hair, no long, scraggly beards, ughhh! And that offender of hair par excellence--Einstein. Suppose genius negates time for or interest in appearance. Voila!

That's not cool. Restore it back now. Mechanical movement converted into electric movement. You could have added electric motors to wind the clock.

@VictoriaGalleryandMuseum 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment - Interestingly there has always been an electric supply in the clock tower, even from 1892! The cast iron clock dials were designed by Alfred Waterhouse who designed the rest of the building. Today, only the fireplace clock is still in existence. A clock dial was positioned in the Library by the spiral staircase and it was connected via electricity to the clock tower clock. Two other clocks on the balcony in the Lecture Theatre and the Grand Entrance Hall were all similarly arranged so that all clocks in the building would be keeping time with each other. An electrical current was sent each minute and would move the hands on the tower and all of the clocks in the building and this arrangement was set by the clock makers and Professor Campbell Brown from Chemistry advised on synchronisation. The same company William Potts and Sons helped with the electric mechanism conversion in 1967.

@@BukuiZhao Yeah... that comment was hardly helpful in any fucking way. Ridiculous. Interestingly I could definitely hear mechanical noise, though that's likely just the movement of the levers plus the bell strikers being controlled by solenoids. Not the same beauty as having purely mechanical power. Lunden's 'Big Ben' clock tower has been around forever and yet it still uses purely mechanical power. Electricity is used only to wind up the weights, via electric motor. I see no reason why not to use mechanical power just for the sake of being "modern". Lol! Should all-acoustic pianos be swapped out for "modern" electronic pianos, then? Lol WTF! Just because purely mechanical (I.E non-electric) power is older, doesn't mean it has no place anymore!

I trained at the LRI and seeing that brought back many happy memories. I t was such a large hospital and I loved working on the circular wards. It had many tales of hauntings and myself as a student Nurse was witness to many of these things, especially when on night duty. I loved every second of working in that magnificent building and when we transferred to the new hospital the vibe was never the same again.

At the risk of sounding like a prig, Beard pronounces "Meroë" incorrectly throughout her talk. The diacritic on the "e" (ë) changes the pronunciation to "Meh-row-AY". This is significant as, confusingly, there is a modern town in Sudan called "Merowe" (Meh-row-ee) that has nothing whatsoever to do with the ancient capital of Meroë (where the head came from). Unfortunately, very few people are well enough versed in Meroitic archaeology to realise this, hence this is a common error.

It might not be fully electric. They might just have put the motors on for winding up purposes. Like, the motor winds the weight back up so someone doesn't have to. Edit: nvm ur right
