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

It did not look a hard enough pull for a hammer 
possible about 5cwt.
