Worcester Cathedral swing times

[David Bagley]

For what it's worth, the swing times as measured by an Odd Struckness Meter
(see www.ringing.demon.co.uk ) at Worcester Cathedral are :-

1 = 1.610s
2 = 1.648s
3 = 1.634s
4 = 1.695s
5 = 1.697s
6 = 1.719s
7 = 1.785s
8 = 1.844s
9 = 1.946s
10 = 2.010s
11 = 2.141s
12 = 2.323s

I'd say that the 3rd swings a bit quick, and the fourth a bit slow, but
apart from this there is no noticeable step from the flange top bells and
the others. The 9th also swings a bit slow.
