Frame modifications:
Frame 1: 2000 by John Taylor & Co
Frame Fr1 (1909, cast iron) was modified by the addition of a single steel truss to narrow the width of the pit originally intended to hold 7/8 (Pit D) and which now holds 2/8; bell is hung on the original outer truss (Truss Type 8.3.D.a) and a new inner truss (Truss Type 8.1.B.a).
Notes

[1]Frame 2A layout

Frame Fr2A Layout is Layout 4.1 but Pit D only partially overlaps Pits A,B,C.

[2]Frame Fr1 evolution

Frame Fr1 was installed in 1909 for the originally intended octave, of which only the tenor was provided (21-1-08 in E). The original tenor pit (Pit A) is now empty.
