I've talked with the installer of these bells.  In spite of the $M spent by the Archdiocese, the tower is little more than an empty shell, with really poor access.  There is no floor to the belfry, so no possibility of adding a traditional keyboard and action to the bells in the future.  Sad.

I remain keen to learn more about the bells in my earlier query. They 
are in Houston, Texas and while searching the net for references I found 
this 
<http://2008remodel.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/houstons-new-co-cathedral/> 
about the co-cathedral there. A little way down is a picture of some of 
the bells. Does anyone know the details of them please?
