Engineers from the Houses of Parliament carry out a planned inspection. This film shows amongst other things the pendulum being stopped, the hands being wound forward to midday, and the lowering of the weights to the bottom of the weight shaft.

Visit http://www.parliament.uk/bigben for more information about the Clock Tower.
