<P>Thanks to all for their help with this, on and off list. Steve Ivin
<BR>points out that we have already discussed the sizes of the Westminster
<BR>quarters, on April 22 2002 - David Cawley gave the sizes then. I hope
<BR>David and George will forgive me for pointing out some discrepancies in
<BR>the data supplied, as follows:<BR><BR>Great Bede: DLC 6' 5 1/2", GAD 6' 10
1/2"<BR>Westminster Q2: DLC 2002 4' 0", DLC 2008 3' 8 1/16".<BR><BR>Perhaps
these bells are not round! :-)<BR><BR>Also, regarding Alan's weight for the
Wanamaker bell, 310-1-23 must be <BR>the correct reading as 28lbs = 1qtr. I
have seen the figure of 310-1-28 <BR>in more than one place, it is a common
mis-reading. For clarity, I <BR>assume this is the weight of the 1923 bell
which no longer exists.<BR><BR>Bill H<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
