   Really neat.  What kind of church, and how old?  In the picture of the gearworks, there are two sets of woodn paddle thingies.  That's some kind of governor, right?

   Hey man , I was on the run to find roof leaks and took some quick pictures ' cause I thought folks might enjoy seeing them.

   Someone else will have to flesh out the details   -- I'm just the messenger here.

   Thanks for looking .

   How many bells are there? It looks like it might be a simple 19th century carillon of sorts.

   Neat parts! When I was doing pipe organs we'd sometimes have to maintain the carillons and chimes in the tower, always hot and cramped for room up in them things.

   Neat workings in them old ones thats for sure.

   Looks like a Rube Goldburg pulley system , but I guess it works.
