<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We're getting there but, as David Cawley says (glad
to have his input on this) the recorded / exact weights of these two semitones
would be useful. I do have weights (but not notes) for the Taylor bells of 1916
over 20 cwt here in "my" list, and they are 67-2-22, 48-2-3, 35-1-15, 28-2-26,
24-2-6, 20-0-5 etc. To complete "my" list down to a ton, I'd be keen to have
details for any other Eijsbouts additions of 1998 at the bottom end as well as
the two suggested by David - unless, of course, the other semitones were part of
the original instrument.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Richard Smith must be right about the rather crude
weight conversion for the existing bass bell - but strange to quote it as 3629
kg (the conversion to 71-1-20 - 8000 lbs as he points out - was mine) when
the exact weight is known. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I'm puzzled by the musical notes attributed by
DLC which seem to imply (and it's unlikely) that there was a one and a half tone
gap between the two largest bells in the 1916 carillon. Isn't it more likely
that the new bells fills the gaps between whole tones - and would therefore be
48 and 46 in the 49-bell instrument (not 48 and 47). If so, then one would fit
between the 48cwt and 67 cwt bells - guess 55 cwt - and the other would be
smaller (say 40 cwt)</FONT></DIV>
