I was, of course, only quoting hearsay, so it is quite likely that 
the Big Ben bit was added by someone at Gillett's to embellish the 
story. Wally maintained that Warners hoped they'd get the job of 
recasting Mears' Big Ben after it cracked. As Warner's records are 
lost, we shall probably never know!
