In the link room

The space between the clock mechanism room and the belfry is occupied by the link room. The hour bell cable passes straight through this room. The quarter bells rods from the clock room below are diverted by crank mechanisms to connect with the bells in the belfry above. At the quarter hours and on the hour, the cranks make the hammers strike on the bells above.
