<DIV><FONT size=2>When I visited an old colleague of mine who was then General
Manager of the Kowloon-Canton Rly Co back in the early 80's the Taylor 1 ton
clock bell was mounted on a pedestal on Kowloon station concourse.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The single line railway was constructed in about 1910.
The original terminus station was opened in 1916 at was the
southern tip of the Kowloon peninsular adjacent to the ferry. The clock tower of
the station was built in about 1922 and contained this bell I
believe.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The station was demolished in the late 70's, the valuable land
redeveloped and a new station built further north up the line as part of the
double tracking and electrification that my old associate had gone to
mastermind. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The clock tower still stands but the railway had taken their
bell with them it appears.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The original railway was built by Jardine Matheson the
famous Hong financed by Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation, Britain's
biggest commercial company in Asia teamed up with its biggest financial
house.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have a vague recollection that there may be some sort of
electronic noise emanating from the clock tower now.</FONT></DIV>
