Notes
[1]Frame Fr1 truss
Frame Fr1 transverse pit holds two bells. The outer Truss has Truss Type 6.A with an additional single diagonal brace on only one side, running almost parallel to the adjacent brace. However, this additional brace is the end brace for the pit containing bell 4/5 and so does not contribute to the overall Truss Type designation. Frame Fr1 Trusses, therefore, have Truss Type 6.A.
