Sorry to say that despite all the detailed work I've done on Bowell, I've n=
ever looked that carefully at the clappers - generally just a glance to not=

the design or mentions of materials in the records either.
But if anyone is interested in the Bowell CD - full lists of bells, hanging=
jobs, text of advertisements and testimonials, extracts from the records, =
and scans of press reports and contemporary photographs of Bowell jobs - it=
is still available. Price =A325 (payable to C.J. Pickford) - part to recov=

Subject: [Bell Historians] Bowell's composite clappers
It is generally accepted wisdom that Alfred Bowell used composite clapper=
s with timber (hickory) shafts and wrought iron top and bottom end. Has any=
one actually seen one and got a picture?
