The details are as follows:
Cast details: 407-3-9; S.B. 9 3/4" Diameter 122" ( I made it 122 3/4")
Cast figures: 74 3/4; 146; 176; 224; 292; 392; 436; 600
As tuned: tunings: 41-2-8 (note: tunings are what was weighed off
during tuning,the bell was weighed again after, hence the
discrepancy); Tuned weight: 365-1-18; S.B. 9 3/8"
As tuned figures: 66.5; 133; 159; 199.5; 266; 342; 400; 556; 709.
My own pitchings: 64.6; 133.58; 157.56; 199.1; 264.47; 399.12;
553.67; 724.9. I checked the hum twice, my figure is correct and
there is an audible beat between the hum and 2nd partial. The other
large bells also have flat hums.
