[Bell Historians] Valleyfield, Quebec

[Nigel Taylor nigelsdtaylor@outlook.com [bellhistorians]]

Bourdon is G#.414hz
The remaining 5 are, from largest:
C#, D#, E#, F#, G#.

I do not understand why the F# was made too small and too light.

I do have the notes. I am presently in South America but may have the details on my laptop.

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.
