[Bell Historians] Riverside Carillon.

[Richard Offen]

Presumably it is not possible to check this now as the top octaves of the carillon have been recast to a different profile.

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?
