This counts as a small milestone. With the new cable placed and a lot of careful adjustment, the Hourly-Gong rang on its own power for the first time!

The wheel in the beginning of the video is the ‘CountWheel’ of the ‘Chiming Train’ which was activated by the clockworks. Though it has not yet been connected to its set of 10 bells, it still plays its role in activating the ‘Striking Train’ which you see here ringing the gong 4 times. (Yes, to tell the world that the time is 4’O Clock!)
