Framed Print of The Quarter-Bells for the Great Clock at Westminster, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Quarter-Bells for the Great Clock at Westminster, [London], 1857. The fourth quarter-bell...is a very fine-toned bell, and it will be a pity if the forthcoming smaller Big Ben should come out of tune with it, so as to necessitate the recasting of either...The new patent of John Warner and Sons for improvements in the manufacture of large church bells enables the patentees to bring out a bell to any note or weight with almost absolute certainty, and is evidently a very much more scientific mode than the old one of moulding large bells. The necessity of tuning, which, when required, is done by machinery, is thus in most cases superseded; and the bells are truer in form and produce a more harmonious sound than when the thickness is not equal all round the bell'. Warner's Great Bell cracked beyond repair during testing, and was recast in 1858 at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. From Illustrated London News, 1857.
