Oldham Frame

[Michael Wilby]

I recall that the frame is layed out thus:
top: 1,2,4,5,7
middle: 3,6,f6,9,10
bottom: 8,11,12
The 3-tier H frame (low-side on top) takes the whole
height of the large louvres. The tower rocks (!) and
consequently the two trebles are extremely difficult,
and the 8th is extremely easy! The 7th was in the
middle tier until the flat-6th was installed. Given
the layout it is quite surprising that the twelve are
all audible, if a little unbalanced, in the ringing
room. They are certainly a fine ring of bells.
Attached are 3 graphics showing the layout. I'm not
certain of the orientation of 1 and 2, and the wheels
may not be correctly shown on all the bells...

Michael.
