Thank you for posting the photos of Exeter Ontario bell and ground
pulleys!
Certainly explains why my poor wife had difficulty in keeping up her
bell a few years ago.  I've unfortunately have never had the
opportunity to ring there.
Now for the big question.  There is some evidence that a peal was rung
on those bells way back when - 19th century. Would it have been
possible when the bells and fittings were new, or not?  I believe the
noted time was in excess of 4 hours.
Regards
Alan
