[Bell Historians] Take casts of inscriptions

[martin]

You also need to cast from the alginate mold using a specialist dental plaster otherwise you will have the problems experienced by Andrew... or alternatively know a friendly dental technician. I remember Dad often sent his technician various bell related molds amongst those of his patients.

>>"open wide"<<
..... "this won't hurt" was also a favourite, especially if the bell was cracked.
