TOLEDO -- Downtown Toledo will once again hear the beautiful sound of church bells from Trinity Episcopal Church.

You can thank technology for bringing the Gardner memorial bells back to life. A company out of Indiana will attach an electric magnetor to the bell. As a result, electricity will hit it producing sound.

"Through this and our state of the art bell controller, we're going to be able to play the halls, we're going to be able to play the Westminster chimes, and various tunes," explains J.J. Smith of Smith's Bell and Clocks out of Mooresville, Indiana.

All of those sounds will be heard for the first in twenty years when age prevented the bells from being rung.
