<p>I wondered whether the 'tuning marks' were too uneven / bumpy to
to be machine tuning but I'm only aware of chip tuning etc. which
tends to give a rough surface.</p>
<p>Could the mould be 'tuned' to give the final required bell shape
- implies it was intentional & would be repeated by Rudhall?<br>
</p>
<p>Dove already lists the frame as G&J based on info from Chris
P.</p>
<p>Bells News 1894 / 1898 etc has a G&J adverts (bottom left of
first page of issues) which states Makers of Bells At & lists
Tetbury! I assume they are still by Rudhall & that G&J
adverts were not accurate?</p>
