How Do Clock Towers Work?

Clock towers are like giant, fancy clocks that everyone can see. Inside them, there’s a big clock with gears and weights that help it keep time. When the hour comes, the clock rings so people know what time it is. It's like having a really loud alarm clock in the middle of town!
