Ohio Clock

The Ohio Clock (or Senate Clock) is a clock in the United States Capitol. The United States Senate ordered the clock from Thomas Voigt in 1815 and it has stood in or near the Senate Chamber since 1859.
==History==
Senator David Daggett of Connecticut ordered the eleven-foot (3.35 m) tall clock in late December 1815 from Philadelphia clockmaker Thomas Voigt for use in the Old Brick Capitol.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Ohio' Clock: What's in a Name? )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How Do We Know the Truth?: 'Ohio' Clock: What's in a Name? )〕 The clock was delivered in 1817 to the Old Senate Chamber and was moved to the corridor outside the newly finished Senate Chamber in 1859. There is no evidence to support the claim that senators hid illegal liquor in the clock during the Prohibition period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Ohio' Clock: A Secret Stash? )〕 The glass covering the clock's face was broken in the 1983 United States Senate bombing.〔 The clock, which was renovated in Boston in 2010, is wound weekly and keeps accurate time.〔 Senators are rumored to hide bottles of whiskey in the clock.〔
The Ohio Clock stopped at 12:14 pm on October 9, 2013 because the curators who wind the historic timepiece were furloughed when the government was shut down.
