Kellu zewg kwadranti u minutieri wahda f’kull kwadrant, b’zewg qniepen idoqqu l-kwarti u s-sighat. Qabel ma tqieghed l-arlogg, it-torri jew turretta kienet tintuza biex jigu osservati l-movimenti tax-xwieni mill-boghod u permezz tad-daqq ta’ qanpiena u bnadar kienu jinghataw sinjali lill-ghassiesa. Fit-tieni Gwerra Dinjija, post din il-qanpiena haditu l-balamba jew sirena li kienet tindaqq ghal meta jkun hemm xi air-raid. |
