<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Murphy bell in London, exhibited in 1851, thereafter the clock bell <BR>
at Euston - what became of it? Where there any others?</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
I have recently inspected a 1851 Murphy bell (22.75" in dia) at an RC Church in Southampton.<BR>
<BR>
It sounds rather odd! The tuning figs are: 1577.5 1352.5 926 648 454.5<BR>
<BR>
I have a photo of it if anyone is interested.<BR>
