the division bell is a bell that was rung to summon the British Parliament (I am not sure which house, if any) when they had to vote on a certain issue and those who were voting in favour of the issue lined up separately from those who voted against.

Yes, good answer Cindy.The bell calls the members to vote either "ayes" or "noes". Smile
