<P>Many thanks to those who have recently contributed bits of <BR>information
regarding Warners' history. I wouldn't be writing this, <BR>but for two
things:<BR><BR>Firstly, a Google Alert serendipitously drew my attention to
the <BR>project for finally re-hanging the 1854 Warner six of All Saints'
<BR>Cathedral, Bathurst, NSW. Investigating that story uncovered
<BR>additional information about Warners' history; to my astonishment, it
<BR>also revealed that the NSW Heritage Office (or an applicant for
<BR>heritage listing there) regard me as a citable authority, and link to
<BR>the GCNA Webpage about Warner!<BR><BR>Secondly, while hastening to revise
that page (so as to live up to my <BR>newly discovered reputation), I realized
that I still don't know <BR>nearly as much about Warners' history as I would
like. For example, <BR>did they ever use other versions of their name besides
"John Warner & <BR>Sons"? and if so, what and when? What did they produce
besides bells?<BR><BR>You can find the newly-revised Warner page at<BR><A
href="http://www.gcna.org/data/IXfoundryWarner.html">http://www.gcna.<WBR>org/data/<WBR>IXfoundryWarner.<WBR>html</A><BR>I
would appreciate any comments (especially corrections!<WBR>) or <BR>additional
information which y'all might be able to provide. <BR>Although Warners are
mentioned in numerous places on the Web, almost <BR>all references are to
specific bells which they made. I have not yet <BR>found any other Webpage
worth citing as a source of further <BR>information.<BR><BR>Thanks in
advance!<BR><BR>-- <BR>Carl Scott Zimmerman, Campanologist<BR><!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| --></P></DIV></DIV><!-- ygrp-msg --><!-- Sponsor -->
