Chiming Machine in Leek

[Mike Chester]

I have had the following communication.


I am embarking on the restoration of an 1874 Gillett and Bland chiming 
machine in our local church. Before I commence with any engineering 
works, I wish to learn as much as possible about the machine. Can you 
help me with addresses of the sucessors of the Gillett and Bland 
company and any other persons who may be able to help.
Kind Regards
Roy Evett

The first bit is easy! However, who would be the best person(s) to 
offer advice about actually restoring the chiming machine?

Thanks

Mike
