Funnily enough I have just been in at Taylors looking up information on this
job.
It is clear from Taylors correspondence books that the ring was designed for
the money available. The bells were very quickly cast & sent off to Poona
with full instructions how to erect them. Details were supplied about a
ringers floor etc. Unfortunately no thought seems to have been given as to
the thickness of the tower walls in relation to the height of the tower.
