  • A Replica of the Stretch Clock Recently Reinstated at the West End of Independence Hall
    A replica of the Stretch clock recently reinstated at the west end of Independence Hall. (Photograph taken by the author in summer of 197J.) THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The Stretch Qlock and its "Bell at the State House URING the spring of 1973, workmen completed the construc- tion of a replica of a large clock dial and masonry clock D case at the west end of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the original of which had been installed there in 1753 by a local clockmaker, Thomas Stretch. That equipment, which resembled a giant grandfather's clock, had been removed in about 1830, with no other subsequent effort having been made to reconstruct it. It therefore seems an opportune time to assemble the scattered in- formation regarding the history of that clock and its bell and to present their stories. The acquisition of the original clock and bell by the Pennsylvania colonial Assembly is closely related to the acquisition of the Liberty Bell. Because of this, most historians have tended to focus their writings on that more famous bell, and to pay but little attention to the hard-working, more durable, and equally large clock bell. They have also had a tendency either to claim or imply that the Liberty Bell and the clock bell had been procured in connection with a plan to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary, or "Jubilee Year," of the granting of the Charter of Privileges to the colony by William Penn. But, with one exception, nothing has been found among the surviving records which would support such a contention.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this thesis is to review and formulate the history and information concerning bells and campaniles which will aid in the designing of a campanile suitable for Kansas State College. It is hoped that the showing of a design for such a structure with the accompanying model will further stimulate the interest of both students, faculty members, and others in the ultimate completion of such a project. The design for such a tower began about two years ago when the senior Architectural Design Class, of which I was a member, was given a problem of designing a campanile for the campus. The problem was of great interest to me and became more so when I learned that the problem had been given to the class with the thought in mind that some day a campanile would be built.

  • Download Restoration of the Bells
    HISTORIC TRINITY CATHEDRAL BELLS HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE HISTORIC TRINITY BELLS Brief History of the Trinity Bells Trinity Cathedral has been welcoming worshippers at the corner of 2nd Street and St John Street for over 150 years. The historic building first opened its doors in 1863 and grew rapidly with San Jose. In 1876 the church had to be reconfigured and enlarged to its present configuration to accommodate the growth of the congregation. But the little bell perched on the roof didn’t have enough presence to satisfy the congregation in those days. So, in 1879, the church leaders put their heads together and, rather than go for a bigger bell, they would instead install a “ring” of 5 bells tuned to the first five notes of the music scale. This would allow them to play simple versions of hymns from the tower. (Sets of bells are referred to as “rings” – 4 to 8 bells; “chimes” – 9 to 22 bells; and “carillons” – 24 bells and up). The order went to the Meneely Bell Foundry in West Troy, NY, 20 miles up the Hudson River from the state capitol in Albany. Foundry records show that the order was received in November of 1879, and were shipped in April of 1880 along with instructions for hanging them. The bells were played from a bell stand with pump-handle batons connected by rope to the bells 2 levels above in the tower. In 1905 Trinity ordered two more bells from Meneely and added them to the “ring”. This lasted until 1960 when two more bells from the Petit & Fritsen Royal Foundry in The Netherlands were added (Meneely by now had gone out of business).

The effective design of steeples, bell towers, spires, and clock towers requires a multidisciplinary synthesis of technical, aesthetic, and engineering requirements that are unique to tower architecture. In this presentation, the speaker will discuss construction con­ siderations and design problems inherent to tower projects by reviewing recent restoration case histories. The information shared will help designers to produce effective and thorough design processes for architectural tower and steeple projects. Speaker Robert Fulmer — Fulmer Associates LLC ROBERT FUlmER specializes in the analysis and diagnosis of building envelope issues for both historical and contemporary structures. He provides inspection, design, specifica­ tion, and project management services for building envelope projects involving institutional, academic, and ecclesiastical structures. Fulmer is a published author and has lectured on historical preservation and contemporary building envelope topics.

    Bells of All Nations by Ernest Morris File 02 – Part one, Chapters I to VII – Pages 1 to 54 This document is provided for you by The Whiting Society of Ringers visit www.whitingsociety.org.uk for the full range of publications and articles about bells and change ringing CHAPTER I Origin and Development THE ORIGIN OF BELLS TOOK place in those distant days when man began primitively and tentatively to work and to hammer metals. His early impressions would be that malleable copper beaten into a saucer-like shape had a resonancy when struck, which intrigued his rudimentary feeling for music. In the Bronze Age, when the melting and mixing of copper and tin became prevalent, the increase in resonance and tonal power of the cast bronze instrument over the hammered copper one would become apparent ; and we may consider that in the Bronze Age the bell began its career. The Saucer-shape was probably the earliest form of bell-but the spherical hollow type is also ancient, small in size, with holes here and there, and having a little ball of metal rolling loose therein. These are called crotals-meaning rattle-and of this shape presumably were the golden Bells which were commanded to be made for the adornment of the Ephod of Aaron. 1 In media:val days too, a similar method arose of adorning the vestments of the Christian priesthood. , We have notices of several magnificent robes which were thus dec-orated. Conrad, Abbot of Canterbury, had a cope fringed with one hundred and forty little silver bells ; and fifty-one of silver gilt tinkled round the cope of Lanfranc.
