And tonnage must mean profitably and viability.

Forgot to say earlier

Another key thing about this is that available figures are likely to be
numerical - i.e. number of bells cast. More meaningful, yet harder still to
establish, would be the figure for tonnage, i.e. total weight of bells cast
in a given period.

Probably a tendency in recent years for there to be more bells numerically
but smaller ones - so an apparent increase in activity may in fact mask a
decline (or the decline is more serious than it appears)
