<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Re Carl Zimmerman's outpourings on his
disappointment that "subsequent comments from others have only muddied the
waters". It was not my intention to do so. And I am sorry I did not think to
include reference to the excellent GCNA website, which (as Carl himself says)
does not specifically answer the questions Chris Pickford asked. Then in his
latest posting, Carl asks "may I remind y'all" about how to number carillon
bells; and I respected this in line 2 of my original posting - but, mea culpa -
identified one of the two bells wrongly. While on the subject, the reason for
"our" lists numbering chimes and carillons downwards from the top is purely for
convenience in comparative listing by weight e.g. in the Diary or Dove.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Carl also suggests that the Diary has a
"floating" criterion as to the cut-off figure so far as weights are
concerned. If only he read my original posting he will see that it is
intentionally so. 2-tons 10-cwt (50-cwt). The last two bells
included are indeed approximate figures as the exact weight is not known.
It seemed churlish to disregard them;. they were each catalogued by Matthew
Byrne at 2 1/2-tons. If they are ever weighed or the precise weight comes to
light, they could be revised or deleted as the present publisher sees
fit. But Carl is right - I have Bill Viggers's letter which says "remember
- it must fit on two pages".</FONT></DIV>
