Were the  gudgeons and bearings replaced? As rehung in 1906 the bells would 
have had  plain bearings. If these were replaced them the bells were 
augmented the  headstocks would have had to come off and would have given an 
opportunity  to weigh the bells. Were the remains of the cast-in staples cut 
out? If so  this would have given a reason for weighing the  bells.




The bells were rehung on ball bearings .
