This could be a double definition.

'made telephone' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.

'ring' is the second definition.
(both can mean to call on the phone)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bell that I've seen before include "He invented" , "Inventor - clanger" , "Wide end of a trumpet" , "ring" , "Boxing match signal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
