Historians] Steel kingpost frame<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV id=ygrp-text>
<P>Mr Birney and I have been out bell spotting in East Yorkshire
this<BR>afternoon. One of the towers visited was Catwick, where there are
two<BR>pre-reformation bells hung for ringing in a modern frame and with
modern<BR>fittings by Taylor's - 1930s if I remember correctly from a
previous<BR>discussion, but I don’t seem to have a note of the exact
year.<BR><BR>Anyway, the frame is rather unusual. It is all of steel, being
composed of<BR>channel, angle and RSJ sections, and is of kingposted design -
I have never<BR>seen this in a metal frame before (G&J occasionally used
steel queenposts,<BR>as at Carisbrooke)<WBR>. Has anyone else ever come across
frames of this design,<BR>or is it unique?<BR><BR>I attach a
photo.<BR><BR>David<BR><BR>-- <BR>No virus found in this outgoing
