CHIME

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 164 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHIME . (r) (Probably derived from a mistaken separation into two words, chimbe
bell
 , of chymbal or chymbel, the old form of " cymbal," Lat. cymbalum), a mechanical arrangement by which a set of bells in a
church
  or other tower, or in a
clock
 , are struck so as to produce a sequence of musical sounds or a tune. For the mechanism of such an arrangement in a
clock
  and in a set of bells, see the articles CLOCK and
BELL
 . The word is also applied to the tune thus played by the bells and also to the harmonious " fall " of verse, and so, figuratively, to any harmonious agreement of thought or action. (2) (From Mid. Eng. chimb, a word meaning " edge," common in varied forms to Teutonic
languages
 , cf. Ger. Kimme), the bevelled rim formed by the projecting staves at the ends of a cask.
