[Bell Historians] Re: Diamond Jubelee bells on the BBC

[Richard Offen]

As I said other day on this list, the frame configuration employed for this job is known as a 'saw pit' frame. In terms of dynamics it is a very good configuration and has been employed in many towers throughout the UK over a long period.
