I am learning an organ work, “The Canterbury March,” by H. C. Perrin, a former Canterbury organist. The middle section is built on this chime tune and I needed to hear the original. Thanks for providing it here.
Yes, it looks like the strike was electrified with a motor to actually ring the bell. This motor is probably controlled by a switch in the strike mechanism itself. I have no idea about the chime or the actual clock.
By using competent engineering principles in the design of the drive. There are probably dozens of ways to drive a strike train (which comes to a sudden stop) without burning out the motor - the simplest would be to use a micro-switch to turn off the motor before the gear train begins to bind, or to incorporate a clutch or belt-drive that will slip when the torque becomes too high, or perhaps to include a spring damper in that sloppy chain-drive I think I can see, so any motor over-run is absorbed in the chain tension.

Amazing, has to be one of my favourite chimes
Wonderful and great to see the movement too.
I used to hear this all the time when I was around the Cathedral when I lived in Canterbury
Kevin Sims I heard this one time when I stayed in Kent for 4 days
such a rare chime melody
This is the same chime used in the 1980's "Christmas Carol" movie!
what time did it strike
Bryan Schlipp Jr It was used twice; to strike 1 & 2:00 AM
i see
SrWilson3s I was going to say. Where were these chimes used first, I wonder...and in any other towers...
It's the merton college recording
This melody is creepy and mysterious
The hour Bell is just like Dreikoniglocke

So cool😍😍😍😍
Dat sounds preety
Woow!! Keras bgt.
wiwit jj ???
Totally electrified? No weights? How do the chime and strike trains shut off the drive motors without birming them out due to the sudden stop?

Anyone know if the clock is back in action yet?
The bourden is ringing again every day at 5pm, but the clock chime is still out while the scaffolding is on the tower
@@JamieCarmichael302 I saw the clock dial in a video restored looks grand.
It was in action towards the end of May last year
Bruh it isn't the westminster chimes 😑😭

12 BELLS IN C# THESE BELLS SOUND SIMLIAR TO COVENTRY CATHEDRAL
These bells came from the old ring, the newer ring is in the other bell tower
