[Bell Historians] Big bells was Riverside bass bell

[David Cawley]

Don't forget that the Chicago University tower is far, far better in terms of suitability and sense (and location) for a carillon than Riverside Drive!

    On 09, 2008 8:14 DLC said they had 3 goes at casting it and eventually went back to the first attempt, suggesting they were not that pleased, and I thought someone else also commented unfavourably, although I have not kept all.

    He also said

    "closely followed by Chicago's superb C#" so presumably that is the answer.
