I received this request.  My guess is  that it might be an (unsuccessful)
attempt to stop a crack from spreading, but I wasn't sure.  I'm sure
someone on this list can advise.

Regards
John

Hi John.

We are creating a free, non-commercialSmartphone App listing relics of =
the navy of the Colony of Victoria in Australia. I am hoping that you =
can advise me whether the cut in the bell (shown in the attachjed =
photos) from HMVS (ex HMS) Nelson (1814) can be described as a "Tuning =
cut". If so is this a common way to tune a bell.=20
