*Links:

The Cathedral Website formerly had a History page (under About Trinity), which included an early photo of the previous building, and ... from which one could deduce that the chime was acquired when the present building was constructed.  However, there was no photograph of the present building and no mention of the chime.  Now there is no photo of the building nor any history at all.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Meneely (Troy) bellfoundry.
