	DENT- EXHIBITION CLOCK
		This clock was said to be on display in Dent's main office's area for many years and is probably the only one of it's kind made by Dent.

		The clock was built and tested in Dent's factory for a number of years since the Westminster tower was not yet completed when the clock was finished.
