The earliest c1903 perhaps (see their website), which is as used at Bow in =

Is that stock still on that excellent bell ? Also on p.7 a "Peal of six =
bells in Iron Framework on Steel Girders". Only one layer of foundation gi=
rders, sawpit plan frame with "slab" castings incorporating uprights for ga=
llows-ends and jack-braces. Iron stocks, no canons on bells. So pre-1912;=
anyone who has seen the photo know where it is ?

Looking at the frame I said, Blackbourn would have been proud of it - which=

2. Whitechapel cast-iron headstocks.
(a) The earliest I have seen of the present-day type design is at
Goodnestone-by-Adisham in Kent, where they added a treble to make six in
1937. Everything else, excepting two old bells, is of 1911.

When did Whitechapel first start using cast iron stocks?
