Testing the Treble's "Quick Fix" stay - St Andrews, Heddington

I stumbled across this footage the other day and I was confused at first as to why I recorded it, but here we are - Testing the Treble's stay. At our home tower, we have what we call a "Quick fix" stay for the treble which features in this video. This idea of the "Quick fix" stay came about after several stay breakages (The Treble is a bit of a handful!) on either practice nights or on visiting ringing events. With a stay broken and often not being able to become fixed immediately, it prevented us from ringing all 6 on Sunday mornings, so we came up with a stay that can be swapped quickly, used for the short period of ringing, and then be replaced with a more permanent stay. This video was taken after the fitting of the stay during the tied test ring. This is done to ensure that there is not a dangerous amount of flex in the stay when the bell is stood. The Treble at St Andrews weighs 3-1-16cwt and produces a note of E. It is cast by Gillet and Johnston in 1953. https://dove.cccbr.org.uk/detail.php?... Any questions about the "Quick Fix" stay that isn't in the N.B section below, please ask away. N.B - The other bells do not have a "Quick Fix" stay. The treble only does because of the lightness of the bell and because of how frequently the stay is broken. The bell can be a bit of a pain for inexperienced ringers - We did have an experienced band come in and ring a quarter, but they didn't score it as the Treble ringer had broken the stay! They said to me afterwards, "How on earth do you ring that? It's an absolute nightmare!" - The stay may look like it is not sat square in the headstock fitting, that is because the stay socket isn't actually square on the headstock! - The "Quick Fix" stay is checked over for cracks or breakages or woodworm before it is put in the headstock and used for ringing. We do this every time we have to use it. - Please do not follow the idea of a "Quick Fix" stay - It's not advisable and rather stupid.
