ABSTRACT:
A chiming clock having tube chimes for sounding the quarter hours and striking the hours contains a striking, quarter chiming and timing mechanism wherein the music barrel or rotary element of the chiming train may be located substantially in any position with respect to the chimes by reason of the use of cords which are extended over pulleys so as to define the desired path for translation of the rotary movement of the music barrel or striking train rotary elements into percussive movement of plungers against the chimes.
