Is this bell being rung with a cord from the cab?? Thanks.

I have a flexicuff attached to the clapper and am pulling it with one hand while holding the camera in the other. I need to find out how the cable was originally strung - there is an eyelet screw behind the bell but I can't find any other guides either along the bumper, thru the cab, or up towards either mirror mount

Thanks for your info. A local Fire Dept purchased an auto ringer for it's re-chromed bell. It's just not as loud as this demo. Pulling some type of line seems to work better for that full ringing sound. Thanks again!
