<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As intimated in my earlier posting, I have a note
of the exact weight of this bell at home - but not here "down under". But I see
from another list that it's given as 98 cwt so perhaps not quite 5
tons.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another bell to compete with it for Carl's purpose
is the 123 cwt Taylor hour bell at Shanghai Custom House, cast in 1927. Is that
bell still there? If so, it caps Sydney for heaviest not in a carillon outside
Eurpoe and North America</FONT></DIV>
