It sounds like they use the lowest tone quarter bell as the hour bell.

4 bells instead of 5

I love how works

Lovely, but how does the clock chime and strike?

Why do the quarter bells sound like they are in a horror movie

The striking fan was on warning before the chime started

@@Gearz-365 I know that. The question was a bit ironic, since the guy I replied to originally said it like it was a bad thing that the striking fan was on warning before the chime started.

Westminster Chimes

They did it really fast

Cool🙂🙂🙂

where were the ropes that connect to the hammers that strike the bells? in the video I couldn't see the ropes that makes the hammer strike the bell

They are wires, not ropes. One left for the strike, and the ones for the chime on the right

You see the plastic pipe in the middle? One of the bell ropes goes through there. The other ones are directly below the respective bells.

is there one in Switzerland that plays the Westminster chimes

I doubt it, Westminster Chimes are very rare in non English speaking European countries. The only places I in Europe can think of are the Roter Turm at Halle in Germany and the Hallgrimskirka in Reykjavik, Iceland.

What state is this clock located?

At 0:03-0:07, what is the purpose of the brief spin of the mechanism before it actually chimes?

It's the hour strike getting ready to strike the hours.

The reason the fly fan moves briefly at the beginning is because it unlocks the camm that releases the great wheel that turns and rings the bells.

Yes I know already .. I would not have here a clock tower with Westminster heard, perhaps 1/4 hours strike. This must be something typically English.

Jörg Langanki There are actually several church towers in Germany which sound the Westminster Quarters. They are quite uncommon, and most German towers use a simple "blind man's chime" on one or two bells.
