<P>> Taylor's recast the two trebles in 1911, and<BR>> then recast them
again in 1952. Does anyone<BR>> know why this is?<BR>> ... I wonder what
was wrong with those at<BR>> Cambridge?<BR><BR>I remember old ringers
saying that the pre-1952<BR>bells were hard to hear. The 1952
re-hanging<BR>was clearly going to be very disruptive so the<BR>opportunity
was taken to have the trebles recast,<BR>specifying that they should be
'brighter' than the<BR>then current trebles.<BR><BR>Frank H. King<BR>The
