Gold star for Mr Offen.  Black marks for Messrs Dawson and Cawley... :)

PS I too agree with this conclusion about "Maiden Bells".  When the term was
coined, and was entered into casting books, it was generally understood to
mean "no further tuning required".  I expect all these bells will have had
bits of metal scraped off them as the castings were tidied up.
