<DIV>Slaidburn is an example of such a case-none of the garter/pulley positions
are correct.<BR><BR>Tenor is the worst, sally drops 15" when the bell is up,
making the bell seem lighter set than it is and also making it seem far more
oddstruck than it really is. With virtually no handstroke pull, it is a pig to
turn in and dodge with. Nearly all the ropes are drawn in the clcok room without
drawing pulleys as well.<BR><BR>But they have been like that since 1927 when
rehung by M+S. <STRONG><U>But no company would get away with such a shoddy job
like this,these days</U></STRONG>.</DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT>
<DIV><BR>No point doing anything in a big way untill the bells are rehung in a
new frame-no point spending good money after bad, as the bells have a limited
shelf life as they are. A full rehang is the most sensible and best value for
money option in the long term.<BR><BR>Alan<BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have
highlighted the bit that amused me - as obviously you havent rung on some of the
"new" jobs I've rung on !!!!!</FONT></DIV>
