E&S published incorrect weights for 5/12, 7/12 and 12/12 of the East 
Grinstead bells when they didn't have a weighing facility. The 
weights came from Eisbouts despatch forms which showed gross weights 
(including packing, pallet etc.) To the best of their knowledge the 
respective bells are in fact 6 2 17, 8 0 21, 28 0 6.
