[Bell Historians] Sound control examples

[Dickon Love dickon@lovesguide.com [bellhistorians]]

Dear all,

Can anyone name some examples of sound control systems in place which 
comprise horizontal trapdoor movements in a floor, rather than either 
shutters on the louvres or a floor trapdoor which swings open in the 
vertical direction.

I am looking at options for a tower where the sound control needs to be 
effected by closing a hatch in the floor, but where there is no room for 
a hinged trapdoor to swing up above or down below the floor. When open, 
the bells are viewed though this open hatchway, so the aperture needs to 
be complete clear.

I have a few ideas, but in all my travels, I can't think of anywhere 
where a horizontal plan solution has been used.

Thanks.
DrL
