[Bell Historians] Comparing profiles - Magnus bell frame

[David Cawley]

It's quite clear from the image - the wall side frame of the tenor pir was of cast iron (inserted in 1917 when Mears overhauled the bells & also put the tenor on a cast-iron stock). The other side of the pit was in wood. In fact it reported to have worked quite well.

        The old tenor headstock still in situ: one half of the frame is wood; the other half is timber.

        Could Dickon explain this caption from the ascy magnus site?
