[Bell Historians] Whitechapel charges

[Peter Trent]

I am sure in the end it will come down to how much you want their involvement and how much they want your business.

  Golly Peter, if I was a supplier I would love customers like 
  you,prepared to give your hard earned cash away for nothing.

  We don't expect any advice on this matter. We doubt the 
  bellhangers/foundries will be able to tell us much more than we already 
  know. We have a job to be done which we have specified. We are 
  offering companies an opportunity to quote. It is hard to understand 
  why we should pay one for the privilege of being able to bid for our 
  business.
