<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">Interesting, Richard. Your graph
actually proves my point, since I was really thinking of the difference between
the tonnage in the 1920s/30s and 1950s as periods of high output, and the recent
decades as being lower overall. That seems to be what your graph shows - with
the very obvious dips for the War years when, of course, founding capacity
turned to munitions work (and probably greatly increased output).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">This is, of course, just ringing bells.
To take the bigger picture, carillon work by UK founders will have led to quite
a significant increase in bells numerically (but not in tonnage terms) since the
1920s. Similarly with light(ish) chimes, which were made in quite large numbers
in the 1930s to 1960s. </FONT></DIV>
