[Bell Historians] Olympic Bell

[Kevin Jones]

The tower bells calculator is wrong,
 
I have got out my calculator & converted from Lbs to Kg
and this is the figure i got,
 
22548.2 (nearly 22.55 Metric Tons)
 
Does anyone have the correct weight in KG & i will re-calulate it with pen & paper,
 
Kev

Checking DRL's weight figure of 22-10-3-24 using 
http://www.towerbells.org/Cwt-Qtr-Lb_Calculator.html gives 22.91 tonnes. 
So the weight of 22,548.214 kg suggested by KJ looks wrong.

Not sure how Alan Taylor can say that Wiggins didn't ring the bell - the 
movement of the rope and "clapper" seemed directly co-ordinated to me
