references fog bells several times, in keeping with the varied nautical images used throughout the poem. In Part 1, Eliot references a bell which "measures time not our time...a time older than the time of chronometers" rung by the swelling of the ocean which "is and was from the beginning". In Part

invented in 1876, as well as gong buoys, invented in 1921. The latter have three or four flat bells mounted vertically above each other with different pitches, making them acoustically distinguishable from single bells. They are used exclusively in the United States and are listed on nautical charts

Experiments during this period to strike the bells electrically or to replace them outright with electric signaling systems were unsuccessful because the electronics were disturbed by swell and salt water.
