Liverpool tenor

[nigeltaylor at k...]

I am responding to Jim Hedgcock's message re. Liverpool tenor and 
whether or not chime bells and ringing bells are of different 
profiles.
Liverpool tenor was cast from our then standard 6-4" gauge, which had 
been used on a number previous occasions. I do think however that if 
the original gauge had been tall, then a shorter gauge would have 
been made, so that the bell would not have to be "let-on" too much, 
as this could have resulted in the bell being sluggish.
On previous occasions, the 6-4" finished at around 80cwts: this was 
the original quoted weight in the spec. As cast, the weight was 
generally 85 1/2cwts. Liverpool was cast rather thicker at 92-0-21, 
and lost 10-0-10 in tuning.
The 11th also finished about 1 1/2cwts heavier than previous 5-7"'s.
