BELLRINGER'S CLOCK
Made From Odds and Ends Eldersfleld Church, near Gloucester, has a new clock, for w'hich it has to thank one of its bellringers. Mr. J. Carter Is only a bellringer on Sundays and special occasions. On week days he is a wheelwright, and he has made this clock out of the odds and ends of his trade. He took three wheels from an ancient winnowing machine, two driving-wheels from bicycles, an iron-rimmed skittle ball for the pendulum, the steel from a blacksmith’s bellows for two discs, and he hammered some old brass into a skeleton pattern for the face and the hands. These and a few other oddments now make a fine clock for the village, a clock which strikes the hours on one of the bells its maker rings on Sundays.
