Gustavus Brander,
An Account of the Effects of Lightning in the Danish Church…
“ That the next morning, observing the church-clock to be silent, they went into the bellfry, and found the wire and chain, that communicated from the clock in the bellfry to the clapper in the turret, where the bells hangs, to be melted ; and that the small bar of iron from the clock, that gives motion to the chain and wire, just where the chain was fattened, was melted half through, the bar being about three-fourths of an inch broad, and half an inch thick. ”
