strikes the hours on the low-pitched gong with one
strike for each hour. Subsequently, each quarter-

gongs. Finally, the second hammer strikes the high-
pitched gong to count the number of minutes that
have passed since the last quarter-hour.

low sounds, 3 double high/low sounds, and 14 high
sounds (totaling the maximum of 32 strikes).
