this thread rather unedifying and hardly worth further public discussion.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">Surely, a bell diameter is a diameter -
edge to edge at the mouth. It's possible that some other measurement is
recorded, but, if so, then it would not be described as the bell diameter.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">Isn't it more likely that we have some
mis-measurement here? It's a pretty common experience for two people to get
slightly different measurements of the same bell, although 1.125" is quite a big
margin of error. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">Or is it possible that the 7" bell (if
that really is a correct and exact measurement) is other than THE smallest of
the Riverside bells - i.e. one of the smaller ones, rather than the smallest. It
would be worth checking how the owner knows for sure which bell (s)he has
got.</FONT></DIV>
