clapper
Bell's swinging heart
A clapper is the hinged metal piece inside a bell that strikes against the sides to produce sound.
The word extends to anything that claps or strikes: the wooden slats of a clapperboard used in film production, or hands brought together in applause.
The bell's clapper had rusted silent.
In British slang, to go like the clappers means to move very fast.
