<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

prior to welding.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>All castings have small flaws and any crack will start at a point
of stress.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>the cause could be the flaw, or the metallurgy, or excess loading.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>excess loading is difficult. A warn and well bedded clapper may be o/k
but move it slightly, say for example to correct an odd struck bell, can result
in the impact point moving to the edge of the kiss mark, locally raising stress
considerably until it beds back in.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I believe, for example the failure of the old tenor at Watton at Stone
occurred because the leather wore away, allowing the clapper to strike to far
out on the sound bow, impacting the outer edge of deep and badly warn kiss
mark.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I repaired the leather twice on that bell and left warnings about
keeping an eye on it the crown staple loop was badly warn on the inside and the
leather needed extra packing to hold it up in the correct position.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
