Oops I clearly need to check it out.
At least its easy to do now the bell sets up.
I suppose a beautifully clean 1924 G&J casting cold be 1/16" oval.
The old 5th at Essendon was nearly 1/2 inch out, although it was
difficult to judge where the lip ended and moulding flash started,
through all the corrosion and crud.

I suspect otherwise. 0.19 is 3/16ths of an inch to the 2dp standard 
employed by the Dove database. As bells are very unlikely to be 
perfectly round, a difference of 1/16th of an inch is an insignificant 
variation.
