Hourglass

An hourglass, also known as a sandglass, sand timer, sand clock or egg timer, is a device for the measurement of time.

The outer glasses last for four minutes and the middle glass runs for two. These glasses are turned when there is a division; one of the four-minute glasses is turned and the bells will ring and the clocks will flash green for the House of Representatives or red for the Senate for four minutes. After the hour glass runs out, the house's attendants will lock the doors and the whips will count the votes. Members vote by either moving to the government side of the house for a vote for a bill or the opposition side for a vote against a bill. If there is a division shortly after another division, the middle hour glass will be turned and the bells will ring for two minutes.
