around the time of strike, I would expect a free mass to move outwards<BR>under

is what happens. The toggle is thrown outwards by centrifugal force as the
bell rotates – this allows the clapper to strike the bell. The clapper
bounces but by now the bell has slowed down and is nearer the vertical.
The toggle drops down and as the clapper tries to return to the bell it is
prevented by the toggle – thus allowing the bell to hum. I have some of
the bits at the back of my garage – it seemed unnecessary to drag another few
pounds of metal through a peal so I removed the defunct mechanism!</DIV></DIV>
