<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just a thought: note it is Eijsbouts'
"specification", and both kg weights end in the figure 0. I wonder if it's like
those multiples of 7 in some of the Imperial weights we have had cause to
query? Of course it might be coincidence. Thanks to Mike for getting that
far.</FONT></DIV>

<P>I did the obvious thing - I contacted the carillonneur!<BR><BR>He tells
me:-<BR><BR>The two bass bells added in 1998 are by Royal Eijsbouts of the
<BR>Netherlands. According to this company's specifications, the details
<BR>are -<BR><BR>Pitch A Sharp (keyboard note C Sharp): 2,940 kg., diameter
1,725 mm. <BR>(named for St. Oliver Plunkett),<BR><BR>Pitch C (keyboard note D
Sharp): 2,080 kg., diameter 1,537 mm. (named <BR>for Blessed Dominic Collins).
<BR><BR>This makes the A# bell 57-3-14 and the C# bell
40-3-22<BR><BR>Mike<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
