Dual stays

[George Dawson]

Isn't it just a way to make them stronger, & they don't break, just shear
the gudgeon instead?

I've never seen that, but I have seen "wish bone" stype stays that fix to
either side of the headstock, and curve over the headstock to meet in the
middle. The ones I saw were bound together with twine (Can't remember where
:-/).

I visited Millbrook, Bedfordshire on Saturday and both bells are fitted with
dual stays positioned either side of the headstock on the opposite side to
the wheel. One stay engages the slider at Handstroke and the other at
backstroke. I have not seen an arrangement like this before. How common is
this?
