A Short handstroke

Fri May 6 13:25:31 BST 2011

A bell in our group is suspected of having a short handstroke . My thought is that this is something that can be measured with the bell down ( of course ).

If a line is taken from the garter hole to the gudgeon and another from the gudgeon to the pulley an angle is formed between the two . Too little resulting in a short handstroke . 

Am I correct please and if so what is accepted to be the correct angle ?
