@@1260stedders no; it comes out of the tower’s fund for maintenance and is usually accepted as a result of training. The rule of thumb is that the breaking of the stay is the fault of the trainer rather than the trainee, but it doesn’t stop the massively guilty feelings! 2 years on I still have it in the back of my mind!

@ChrisRichmond6 жыл бұрын
Now, as a curious outsider to this seemingly wonderful and fascinating hobby, would it be the case that the stay breaking was a complete set up just for the film? Looks to me like it was made of grainy pine. Perhaps the original one was unbolted and switched with this softwood specimen, on which the camera shot was deliberately focused. Being filmed in the presence of actual ringers, I doubt any deliberate damage to the original parts occurred.

Hi Chris, we used a regular stay made out of ash, but drilled holes in it so that it would be easier to break. The holes were then filled with sawdust for additional effect.

The metal part is a 'trigger' which is part of a system called a hasting stay. I won't attempt to explain here how it works but it eliminates the need for the slider in the bottom of the bell frame.

If the stay breaks and the bell is swinging with no way of stopping quickly can it break the support and fall?
@Simo2009BORO2 жыл бұрын
Not likely, the bell will continue to swing until it stops itself hanging downward. It will remain fixed to the wheel and headstock. Should the frame which holds the bell in place become unstable and cause the bell to fall, it will likely be a wider issue resulting in the entire collapse of the tower or all the bells to fall together. I would personally say the chance of a bell falling is almost zero. In fact, I have not yet heard of an account of this happening.
@jenlfpotter38705 ай бұрын
I read an article about a tenor bell falling down a tower in Kilmersden, Somerset. The ringers were actually in the ringing room ringing the bells at the time. They thought the tenor wasn't handling as well as it usually did, before it came away from the frame and crashed down two floors. The ringers fortunately got away as it fell.

Bell saved, the stay has broken saving damage to the headstock and bearings. The stay is cheap to replace and the rope is not necessarily ruined either. Three weeks ago, a stay broke at our practice and the rope and bell we perfectly fine. In fact, our most experienced ringers rang it up and held it on the balance so it could still be rang for the evening before the stay was finally replaced.

Think of the stay as the fuse in a plug. It's a safety mechanism. I've only ever had one ringer I was teaching (I hadn't taught them from the start, I should add, I was running an open practice which they attended) break a stay. I gave it to them as a trophy. Most stay breaks happen as a result of either a lack of explanation of the mechanics of ringing, or someone being rushed through handling and over-pulling.

@lucasowen50404 жыл бұрын
Well you would, if you didn’t let go of the rope. Usually when the bell is up and over at handstroke the sally would be the same height as when the bell is stood at backstroke. But when the bell swings past that point when the stay breaks, the rope goes higher than that until it rings itself down.
