U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Meelaha laga soo galo: Dawanka ugu weyn, oo si rasmi ah loogu yeero Dawanka Weyn, laakiin si fiican loogu yaqaan Big Ben, waa dawanka ugu weyn ee munaaradda oo qayb ka ah Saacadda Weyn ee Westminster. Waxay u egtahay E-dabiici ah. Dawankii asalka ahaa wuxuu ahaa 16 tan (16.3 tan) dawan saacad ah, oo lagu shubay 6dii Ogosto 1856 magaalada Stockton-on-Tees oo ay sameeyeen John Warner & Sons. Waxaa loo maleynayaa in dawanka markii hore loo yaqaanay Victoria ama Royal Victoria oo lagu maamuusay Boqoradda Victoria, laakiin in xildhibaan soo jeediyay in dawanka loogu yeero "Big Ben" inta lagu gudajiray dood Baarlamaan; faallooyinka laguma diiwaan gelin Hansard. Maaddaama dhismaha munaaraddu uusan weli dhamaan, dawanka waxaa lagu rakibay New Palace Yard laakiin, intii lagu jiray tijaabinta, wuu dillaacay oo dayactir la'aan ayuu ahaa waxaana loo baahday in la sameeyo bedel. Gumbaddii waxaa dib loo qaabeeyey 10kii Abriil 1858 ee Whitechapel Bell Foundry oo ahayd 131/2 tan (13.76 tan) dawan. Gumbaddii labaad waxaa laga soo qaaday qodista ilaa munaaraddii iyadoo la raacayo gaadhiga ay jiidayaan lix iyo toban faras, iyadoo dad badani ay ku faraxsan yihiin horumarkiisa; ka dibna waxaa la soo jiiday 200 ft (61.0 m) ilaa munaaraddii saacadda ee munaaraddii saacadda, waxqabad qaatay 18 saacadood. Dhererkeedu waa 7 feet 6 inches (2.29 m) dhexroorkeeduna waa 9 feet (2.74 m). Dawankan cusub wuxuu markii ugu horeysay ka dhawaajiyay July 1859; Bishii Sebtember sidoo kale wuxuu ku jabay jiingada. Sida laga soo xigtay maamulaha warshadda, George Mears, saxafiga Denison wuxuu isticmaalay malmal ka badan laba jeer culeyska ugu badan ee la cayimay. Saddex sano Big Ben ayaa la joojiyay shaqada saacadihiina waxaa la garaacay qaylada ugu hooseysa illaa iyo inta la dayactiray. Si dayactirka loo sameeyo, bir laba jibbaaran ayaa laga soo saaray geeska daloolka hareerihiisa, dawankana waxaa la siiyay siddeed meelood meel wareejin ah sidaa darteed daanka cusub wuxuu ku dhuftay meel ka duwan. Big Ben wuxuu ku dhawaaqayey cod ka yara duwan tan iyo markaas, welina waa la isticmaalayaa iyadoo la dayactirinayo dillaaca. Big Ben wuxuu ahaa dawankii ugu weynaa jasiiradaha Ingiriiska ilaa "Great Paul", dawan 163/4 ton (17 ton) ah oo hadda ku yaal St Paul's Cathedral, ayaa la shubay 1881.  Su'aal: Goorma ayaa kubada dib loo tuuray?
