Does anyone know what the difference in size would be between a steel=20
bell and a normal bell of the same weight? Which would be larger?=20
Presumeably it will be determined by the differences in density.
A steel bell is quite a bit lighter than a bell metal bell of the same phys=
ical size. There's a chart which compares bells by various founders and dat=
es in the appendices of Trevor Jennings' 'The Development of British Bell F=
ittings' - it includes Naylor Vickers steel bells. I don't have a copy to h=
and, but from memory the Bassaleg tenor, which weighed 7.25 cwt, was about =
the size of an 11 cwt bell metal bell.
