[Bell Historians] Valleyfield, Quebec

Converted to avoirdupois, those weights are 1140, 1280, 1703, 2311, 3283, 9773, respectively -- quite a bit lighter than what is on the Cathedral Basilica's Website, which my correspondent must have been quoting.  I'll ask him to find out the source of those figures.

Do your records include the notes of those bells?

I believe the actual weights (in C.q.l.) and diameters are as follows
 
1.   38” 10-0-20
2.   39.5” 11-1-20
3.   44” 15-0-23
4.   49” 20-2-15
5.   55” 29-1-7
6.   78” 87-1-1 (but the reported weight of 10044lbs works out to 89-2-20)

89-2-20 was the cast weight.
