Is it the same type of frame? T,E&S haven't been hanging since the 
1890s. Neither has E&S. Only Taylor's have been hanging since then. 
Is the frame to a normal historical Taylor spec or is there now some 
sort of hybrid design possibly incorporating C channels instead of 
RSJs for example.

bellfounders?
