<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">I had almost forgoten that I'd already
compiled a priovisional chronological listing of all the earlier rings of ten
(attached). Although this list does not take account of later recasting, it's
very clear that the first complete ring of ten was cast in 1688 (Lichfield) and
several founders (including Whitechapel) produced complete tens in the
eighteenth century. This proves the point, I think, that there no serious
significance can be assigned to any of the later Whitechapel tens now surviving
just because they happen not to have been recast (yet!)</FONT></DIV>
