<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You indicated that the G&J brochure you copied at the Anton Brees Library in Lake Wales, Florida mentions the Jerusalem carillon but does not devote a separate page to the instrument. I was resident Carillon Scholar at Bok Tower almost 30 years ago & I remember librarian Helena Caldwell presiding over a special file cabinet devoted to bellfoundry p.r. ("Don't get that out of order !"), but at this juncture, my memories of the material won't really help much...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have only two (2) Gillett & Johnston advance brochures. The first is the grandiose production from 1935 (or possibly slightly later; 1935 is the most recent installation date included in the copy); the second is a very modest, spine-stapled general infomation booklet from 1949, with foreword by H. Michael Howard and photo of the Riverside Church bourdon on the cover.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I am no bibliographer, but I believe that back in the '30s, such sales brochures were literally 'bespoke' for each prospective customer, according to particular (bell) interest. Each copy would have been assembled by a foundry clerk from a stockpile of individually-printed, pre-punched sheets, with the letter codings & sectional/sequential numbers printed on the pages being the only apparent ordering system. </FONT><FONT size=2>Cetainly, my 1935 version is a hodge-podge of (often out-of-sequence) pages, compiled into a 'stock' cover & bound with two split-pins (''Premier Binder") through the pre-punched margin holes. I'm guessing the letter-coding was approximately as follows: G-General Information; C-Carillon; R-Ringing Peals; TC-Tower Clocks; 123 (individual pages numbers without letter code) - general info "leftovers" from some other brochure production</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have assembled a quick description of the pages for comparison with your copy (see: attachment). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>NB: the pages appear on the list in exactly the same order as they are bound into my copy. I have given recto (R) and verso (V) for each page, with contents and photo descriptions. Hope this helps.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Cheers,</FONT></DIV>
