act of parliament clock การใช้

• The term " Act of Parliament clock " came about long after these clocks were already in existence.
• Thomas Fardon ( 1787 1838 ) made various timepieces including an Act of Parliament clock, longcase clocks and Woodstock in 1838 and maintained the clock at St . Mary the Virgin, Kidlington from 1839 until 1862.
• These clocks were also known as Act of Parliament clocks because they became popular after the British Parliament passed an Act in 1797 levying a tax on domestic clocks with the result that people relied on public clocks for their time-keeping.
