[Bell Historians] Canons on ancient bell at Hanford, Dorset

[c.j.pickford at talk21.com]

The section, I think, is just that - a straight line through the single
canons and argent (i.e. omitting the double canons altogether). 

There are actually two Dalton photos, and the second one (unpublished) shows
the Hanford bell in the other plane (i.e. with the single canons facing the
camera). I also have a photo taken at Whitechapel in which the outline
represented by the sectional drawing can be seen more clearly

Hope that helps

Sorry, another question on an ancient bell.

In 'The Bell and Belfries of Dorset: Part II', Dalton reproduces a diagram
of the cross section of the 11th century bell at Hanford [p 326].  This is
seems to be based on diagrams by Elphick in 'The Craft of the Bellfounder'
[p 20], and a 1958 Ringing World article [p 449].

Dalton also includes a photo of the bell [p 325], which is reproduced at
higher resolution in 'Exploring England's Belfries' [p 100].

I'm really struggling to reconcile the cross-sectional diagram and
photograph with regard to the canons.  Is anyone able to describe what they
think the canons look like?
