Dennis Greenwood's booklet entitled "James Shaw, Son & Co - Bellfounders 
& Clockmakers of Bradford, Yorkshire" (published 1996) has some more 
(but not conclusive) details on Page 11. I will scan the page later on 
when I get chance and post to this list.

The detail provided by Peter is very consistent with the detail on page 
93 of Jennings where the 7 lines of text includes: ' granted a 
provisional patent in 1884 for a frictionless gravity stop'  &   ' It 
could be ...... and specially converted to the advantage of young or 
inexperienced ringers should the need arise.'  (Implies easily adjusted 
to a less deep set?)  No diagram etc.
