I worked for AP Radio one summer and the engineering shop was in the 
basement of the office building where AP Radio was based, the studios were 
on the fourth or fifth floor. When there was an engineering trouble ticket 
issued, we would receive it on a special teletype set up in the shop.  When 
a trouble ticket came in, it was preceded by 10 bells.  Trouble tickets 
would come in once or twice a day, so after a few weeks the sound of 10 
bells lost its originial impact with me.
