<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Re Carl's interesting posting:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>MADRAS, St George's Cathedral. Sounded from
an Ellacombe chiming manual; all 8 are Mears & Stainbank, 1871; a
diatonic 8 with the bass bell 48", 20cwt 1qr 27lbin E, and of these I have
some prints. The bells were presented by Mr G. Banbury, the chiming apparatus by
Revd T Foulkes. The bells are hung 'dead' in two tiers and have never
been hung to swing. There are also three clock bells by
Thomas Mears II 1827/8; hour strike and ding-dong quarters, dimensions not known
to me. Presented with the clock to the Cathedral (built 1816) in
1828. </FONT></DIV>
