Acoustic Tuning on the Timber Shelf

A row of heavy hardcovers stood tightly packed on the low shelf, but right at the end perched a cast-iron mechanical desktop bell! An irresistible mechanical obstacle sitting at chin height! I revved my base, rolled onto the sturdy lower ledge, and drove the blunt tip of my chin right against the brass bell dome. DING! The piercing chime resonated down my neck column, rattling the dust straight off the nearby book spines! Ha! I swiveled my cannons in a rapid pivot to lock in the reverberation. The library sector is officially calibrated!
