How the heck do they winch up a 13.5 ton bell?!

[Champ1964]

Smashing, Absolutely Smashing. Only complaint is that I did not take up the Master of the Worshipful company of Clockmakers (Andrew Crisford , I think) on a personal tour after He visited my Clock Shop's Turret Clock (1865 John Moore & Sons) In July of 1997. I would guess the offer still stands. I just have to get to the UK. Cheers and Thanks for the Video Collections.

This is bigger than the Tsar Bell in Moscow. And the Tsar Bell is so called "the biggest bell in the world." People do not know how to compare
