Now that I occasionally give the lecturers, I remain equally distracted - surely
the best five in Birmingham! The last time I visited the campus (9 July 2010) sadly
the clock was not striking. Perhaps there was some more work in progress, does
anyone happen to know? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

some most interesting details that I was not previously aware of (especially
the history of the clock). I did manage to get up to see the bells - I think in
1978 shortly before I left, by accompanying some members of the abseiling club
during a rag week fundraising stunt – on the way up, but not on the way down! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

founding of the University in <st1><st1>Birmingham</st1></st1> was a key
element of Joseph Chamberlain’s vision for the City. He had originally
envisaged developing the <st1><st1>Mason</st1> <st1>College</st1></st1>
buildings for the purpose, but a gift of £50,000 from Andrew Carnegie, the
American industrialist, brought with it a condition that the money should be
spent on buildings. Carnegie also made it clear that he would like to see a campus-style
university with lavish buildings like those of the new universities in <st1>North
America</st1>. From this developed <st1><st1>England</st1></st1>’s first
‘red-brick’ University and its fine complex of buildings.</span><o></o></font><o:p></o:p></p>

text-indent:36.0pt'><font size=3 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>The charter was granted in 1900 and in July of the same
year Lord Calthorpe donated the Edgbaston site for the new university. The
first buildings on the campus were erected soon afterwards, the architects
being Sir Aston Webb and E. Ingress Bell whose original scheme included a
modest tower over the main building at the centre of the complex. The main
builder was Thomas Rowbotham. The first phase of construction was completed in
1906 and the new University was opened by King Edward VII in July 1909.</span><o></o></font><o:p></o:p></p>

text-indent:36.0pt'><font size=3 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:12.0pt;

1905 it was reported that an anonymous gift of £50,000 – presumably Carnegie’s
- had been made to the University, "... to be applied in the erection of a
tower." Eventually a modified design based upon the <st1>Mangia</st1> <st1>Tower</st1>
at <st1>Siena</st1> in <st1><st1>Italy</st1></st1>, was accepted. Built of red <st1>Accrington</st1>
brick with Darley Dale stone dressings, the tower stands to a height of 327
feet. In honour of the University’s first Chancellor, it was named the <st1><st1>Chamberlain</st1>
<st1>Tower</st1></st1>. A carved inscription round the top of the lower stage
of the tower records:<o></o></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><font
size=3 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>The tower
was built in 1907-9 by Waring White of London whose tender (£14,189) was
selected from the seventeen submitted. Thomas Rowbotham evidently bore no
grudge about his failure to secure the contract for this phase of the
University, as he made the very generous gift of some £2000 for the clock and
bells for the new tower. The original electric lift, installed by Otis, still
remains in use.</span><o></o></font><o:p></o:p></p>

The tower was built from the inside without the use of scaffolding. This had
the advantage of keeping down the cost, but the lack of external pointing
resulted in water penetration. This had to be remedied soon after the tower was
built, and in 1914 Thomas Rowbotham was engaged to point the tower at a cost of
£710. Again no scaffolding was needed, as the workmen operated from hanging
cages. The tower has since been restored again in 1957 and in 1985 when a major
refurbishment took place at a cost of £250,000.</span><o></o></font><o:p></o:p></p>

font-family:Tahoma'>The clock was made in 1908 by the Whitchurch firm of J. B.
Joyce, although installation was not completed until after the official opening
of the University in July 1909. It is recorded that on the opening day a
workman was employed to operate the hands of the clock manually with a cranking
handle! A contemporary account of the clock was given in the <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>London and Provincial Magazine</span></i> for
February 1909:</span><o></o></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><font

frame was made in one solid casting weighing half a ton, and divided into three
separate trains - the hour train, the train operating the quarter-hour <st1><st1>Westminster</st1></st1>
chimes, and the general driving train. The escapement is after the pattern
connected with the late Lord Grimthorpe, the double three-legged gravity, and
the wearing parts are jewelled as in a watch, which is noticeable in
conjunction with the fact that the main wheels are 24in. in diameter, and weigh
close on 1 cwt. each, The pendulum, which is 15ft. long, goes through to the
floor below; it weighs 4cwt. and beats with a swing of two seconds' duration
each way. The clock will go for a week on one winding, and an automatic
arrangement throws the chimes out of gear during the night hours. The hour
bell, weighing over 6 tons, and the quarter-hour chimes (4 tons) were cast by
Messrs. Taylor, of Loughborough'. The total weight of the clock and bells when
installed will exceed 20 tons. The cogged wheels in the mechanism, in addition
to the bushes and pivot holes, are all of gun metal, polished and lacquered,
and, needless to say, exactly fitting in with one another.” </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

bells have flange-tops, those on the two largest bells having a pattern or

association with Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914), ranks as the eleventh heaviest

following the partial disintegration of the webbing of the steel grillage on
which they were hung. The framework consists of four parallel main girders
spanning the tower from north to south. The hour bell hangs in the middle, with
no.1 to the west, no.2 to the north, no.3 to the south and no 4 to the east.
Their deadstocks are formed from pairs back-to-back steel channels resting on
the main girders, those of bells 2, 3 and 5 being raised from the girders on
pedestals. They are all fitted with external clock hammers (with two on the
fourth quarter bell). </span><o></o></font><o:p></o:p></p>
