[Bell Historians] Riverside Carillon.

[Roderic Bickerton]

That would only give a soundbow thickness of  9/16", the small carillon bells I have seen are very thick, well over 1" thick

  Would 5 7/8" be the strike diameter at the thickest part of the sound bow? would your informant be able to check this?

  That's precisely what I'm wanting to know. G&J says diameter is 5 7/8 inches, actual outside measurement, as measured by my informant - 7 inches. The former measurement being the inside.

    Hoe very odd, Hoe on earth can you sensibly determine an inside diameter at the lip the shape being a curve?
    sounds an implaudable explanation.

      My attention has been drawn to the fact that there may be two ways of measuring a bell's diameter. Bell No.7 of the G&J Riverside Carillon, weighing only 15lbs, has been measured as 7" (no typo error)on the outside (lip to lip)but in the G&J Tuning Books it is given as 5 7/8". The measurements have been checked by my informer and shows the smaller measurement to be that of the INSIDE of the bell. What of the other bells here, I wonder?

      Is this the usual practice of Cyril or may be anyone else?
