Update log
| 21/12/2024 | Hour: Although all five weights are quoted as “cast weights” and “tunings” are only given for bells Q1-Q4, there is some evidence that the Hour bell was also tuned, for instance two sets of partials. [G&J records via Chris Pickford] |
| 20/07/2024 | Q1-Q4: weights amended; Q2-Q3: diameters amended [Alan Buswell, G&J archives. The weights are the cast-as weights and not the weights after tuning via REMRKS480] |
| 12/07/2024 | Hour, Q1,Q2,Q4: nominal, note amended [Gordon Birks, Richard Smith #007180] |
