| Wheel and stay removed. Ready to support on yellow frame for headstock removal. | All overhauled and rebuilt with new bearings and gudgeon pins (axles). Ready for final clean and adjustments. | ||
| As the bell turns, the ash stay on the left comes up against the slider (see opposite) to prevent the bell from going too far past the vertical (in either direction) when being rung. | View of new slider arrangement - an improvement on the old system which relied on a pivot hammered into the floorboard !
