By co-incidence I have just been working on some recordings of 
Tavistock (a smashing ten!). The back eight are Taylors 1925, and I 
noticed some differences between the various bells. Making a wild 
guess, I should say the 4, 6 and 8 of the original eight (6, 8 and 
10 of the ten) are old profile, and the 3 and 7 of the orginal 
eight, plus possibly the 5, are new profile. The 7 in particular 
looks experimental.

Any views - or is this another one of my theories that bites the 
dust?
