[Bell Historians] Re: Historical differences between long-standing bell foundries?

[Matthew Higby & Company Ltd, www.bellhangers.com]

CNC machining is widely used for handbell production in the US. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lYEpRZjfaI

This has been brought into use for tower bells also (particularly at Eijsbouts). However the final adjustments are always done by hand.

Computer aided design of bells has been in use for many years now, and can be used to cut (via CNC laser cutting machines) accurate strickles ready of the production of cores and copes.

" The advent of low cost CNC machining also 
makes one wonder about its applications in 
bell-making..."

That has to make sence for handbells.
