Quarter strike tickers which, as the name recommends, show each quarter hour by a progression of disasters for a ringer or gong.

Following on from this is the Ringing clock. A ringing clock plays a song or tunes consistently, a half hour or quarter hour. An illustration of this is the popular Westminster Tolls which are related to countless English and German Timekeepers. A Westminster toll clock has at least four gongs or ringers. Four notes are played at the primary quarter, eight at the second or half past. Twelve notes are played in the second from last quarter and the full sixteen notes are played at the hour with the strike system signifying the real-time by then. There are numerous different varieties of rings; Whittington, St Michael, and Ave Maria to give some examples. These tools play on at least eight gongs or chimes.
