Taylor Clappers

[Mike Chester]

We removed the clapper of our 6th last night as it showed signs that 
it might need rebushing - it does only 6/7 years after being rebushed!

The clapper is a "stirrup" design that I don't recall seeing 
elsewhere in my limited experience of visiting towers, (which 
probably means that there are thousands out there!). It was made in 
1901. When did Taylors start/stop using this design?
