The count wheel of the chiming train

The count wheel of the chiming train is a brass disk with four slots on its outer edge. The distance between one slot and the next determines the number of times - from 1 to 4 - the quarter chimes will sound. The chiming train is halted when the locking lever drops into one of the slots on the wheel.
