Seage's Silent Ringing Apparatus

In October 1910, a ring of 8 Taylor's Bells, a Ellacombe Chime and Seage's Silent Ringing Apparatus were Installed. The Silent Ringing Apparatus was invented by Epahras Seage, an Exeter printing engineer around 1875. The Apparatus has not been used for many years and the tower is fairly unique in that there is a complete set of the equipment still there, although not fully installed anymore. As a project for 2014 we have decide to get the Apparatus back in working order.

Actuator Arm

A view of the Actuator Arm from the Seage's Silent Ringing Apparatus, this arm fits on the casting located on the bell frame above the Stay Track.

Close up of the Actuator Arm. This arm gives a pull of seven times the height from the rest position to the top of the 'Gear Tooth' or triangle between the two circles above the rule. If the height is 7 mm we get a lift of 49 mm on the cable used to pull the striking mechanism in the ringing room.
