Further...... Having just perused <www.towerbells.org/data/NYNYTCTC.HTM 
 > it is not really true to say that they were hung as a chime by McShane.

The design and actual hanging of the chime was by Taylors. A small part 
of the work was subcontracted to McShane to avoid to bells having to 
cross the Atlantic for attention.
It is not normal to credit a sub-contractor as though he were the principal.

The automatic chiming equipment which strikes the quarters and the hour 
and also plays tunes was supplied by Clock-O-Matic.
