What is the name of a person who studies trains?
ferroequinologist (fr ferro "iron" + equinus"horse"). One who studies the iron horse or railroad industry: Railfan. You can find reference to this word in Webster's Third New International Dictionary. If you want to sound smart you could say that one who FEARS trains is a ferroequinophobe.+++You're unlikely to find grandiloquent words like "ferroequinologist" in railway-enthusiasts' literature though! They are just railway [~road] enthusiasts. (Any more than bell-ringers call themselves "campanologists".)
What is the official name for a bell ringer?
bell-ringer The bellringers typically stand in a circle around the ringing chamber, each managing one rope. Bells and their attendant ropes are so mounted that the ropes will be pulled in a circular sequence, usually clockwise, starting with the lightest (treble) bell and descending to the heaviest (tenor). To ring the bell, the ringer will first pull the sally towards the floor, upsetting the bell's balance and causing it to swing on its bearings. When a church has a proper peal of bells, and not just tolling bells, the bell ringers who practise the art are also called campanologists. A campanile is a bell-tower. The practice is called campanology.
What sort of person would ring bells in church?
bellringer, toller, carillonneur, chimer, signaller, tower captain, sextonAnswerbellringer, toller, carillonneur, chimer, signaller, tower captain, sexton ___________________Nobody came up with 'campanologist'!. Most churches only have 'tolling' bells that just swing back and forth, or carillions, which are operated with wires and hammers. A full peal of bells is much more complex and and is found in many older churches and cathedrals in the UK and Ireland. A ringing bell can be paused at the top of its swing, which goes more than 360 degrees, allowing for complex patterns and sequences. Bells are controlled and timed by trained bell ringers, campanologists. A bell tower is called a 'campanile', such as the famous one in Trinity College Dublin, although that just has a mechanical bell. St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin (Anglican) has a very large peal of bells, and the sound of bells on great occasions is a wonderful experience.
