Which of Titanic's bells were rung every half-hour?

Was it the one on the bridge, the one at the base of the mast, or the one in the crow's nest?

I need some help with this, do any of you here know which one of Titanic's bells were rung at every half-hour?

The bell in front of the bridge, which was an electric bell, was the bell that rang every hour.

The lookouts up in the crow's nest were required by IMM rules to answer these bells by repeating what they heard with the bell in the nest. The bell in the nest was a much larger bell, and could be heard around most of the ship's exterior decks. Bells were struck with a particular cadence. BTW, it was the job of the standby quartermaster to strike the bell in front of the bridge every half hour.
