Monk
clocks are more frequently found as shelf clocks as opposed
to the earlier form of shield such as the example here.
This
clock is unusual. It has three trains: a time train, a strike
train to count the hours, and the animation train that causes
a monk to bend at the waist to pull the bell rope. At the
same time, the Angelus or call to player, is struck on two
bells in rapid succession. This occurs at six o'clock in the
morning, again at Noon, and once more at six o'clockk in the
evening.
during
the rest of the day, the clock strikes the hour like any other
clock counting the hours on a separate bell.
