[Bell Historians] Centre of mass

[Richard Offen]

PS.   The measurement is usually taken as the distance between the centre
line of the gudgeon and the lip of the bell.

The 'hang' as it is called will probably vary depending on the bell's
position in the ring and number in the ring - i.e. if it's the treble of
twelve the hang could be greater than the treble of six.   Probably
better to find one or two towers near you that have been rehung by
Taylors (not difficult, as they are plentiful!) and measure.

Could anyone advise me, please, of the approximate distance is between
the centre of mass and the axis of rotation for a modern Taylor bell of
weight about 5cwt. or could direct me to sources of information on this
subject?
