Bourdon of the Rockefeller Memorial Carillon in New York

Описание к видео Bourdon of the Rockefeller Memorial Carillon in New York

This was the largest bell ever cast by Gillett & Johnston. The bell is also struck. It has a clapper on the inside (for swinging), and two strikers on the outside; I assume they have two so one side of the bell doesn't get too worn out. The inscription encircling the base of the bell is:
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, A CARILLON COMPASS OF 5 OCTAVES IS HERE ACHIEVED AND EXCEEDED
The carillon is the second largest in the world (74 bells), and still the heaviest in the world - 100 tons (91 metric tons).
