Normally the tolerances in the weighing machines, which
seem to be greater<br>
for larger bells. Alan Hughes told me that he expects his
weighing machine<br>
to be plus or minus 2 pounds, which partly explains his
bewilderment at the<br>
obscession ringers have with bell weights! Even the old
tenor from Cornhill<br>
was weighed at Whitechapel (1960) as 42-0-6, but weighed
at Taylors as<br>
42-2-24.<br>

It would be interesting to know of any disputes that have resulted
down the years as a consequence of this; perhaps there could be an
