The Striking Train

The striking train is a similar mechanism to the chiming train, but designed to produce a sound signal at the end of each hour. It consists of a weight-driven motor, winding mechanism, the hour count wheel, a system of levers, a three-bladed fly and the signal device with the large hour bell.
