<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With respect to Michael and other contributors on
this topic, is "bell historians" the place to air this one?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There have been some excellent and interesting
contributions this last week or so. They were preceded by what seemed to me at
any rate to be a batch of "ringability"<WBR>-type postings which seemed to be
more suited to other sites. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Michael's question is of course quite justified,
but surely elsewhere?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry</FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I can see David's point, but is there any other list whose
subscribers have so much experience of towers & bells? Sadly I
think not. In my opinion (in the case of towers), if you can ring bells for an
hour, you can ring them all day long. A structural engineer may be
able to shed light on this.</DIV>
