Vol 2. 120. GLASGOW TRINITY CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. CLAREMONT St.
7 bells
27/6/49.
In this tower with spire, near the Glasgow Eye Infirmary, hangs a chime of =
six bells and a single bell.
The bells are all of cast steel and were cast by Naylor, Vickers & Co. but =
they were so rusty and at some height that I did not see the date. Dr Eeles=
in CB Kincardineshire p.50 gives "Trinity Glasgow, (6. tenor 12 cwt 45"d.)=
"=20
Across the roof of the bell chamber hangs a large square beam with a diagon=
al vertical. To these are bolted the crowns of the 6 steel bells, three eac=
h side at 45 degrees to the vertical. Crowns are of the flange type connect=
ed by webs to the crown proper. Clappers are provided with a spring inside =
to hold them off the bell. Ropes and wires connect these clappers to a chim=
ing machine manually operated. A barrel with cam shaped lugs is rotated thr=
ough one gear stage by a huge flywheel which has a peg in the circumference=
for hand operation. It has not been used for some years and wires are very=
slack. Hard work I should think.
Apart from this there is a single bell hung for swinging in a frame but fit=
ted with a large counterbalance weight. All bells struck had a very poor to=
ne and showered rust down. The rope to the single bell has the remains of a=
sally.

RWMC visited 27 June 1949 and I have his notes - no diameters or bell ser=
ial numbers. Very much like Belmont, i.e.e hung dead at 45 degrees to a sin=
gle beam. I will copy out later.
