Bell founding – the past and the present
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2010, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper outlines the history of bell founding. The exceptional character of bells, which are products of supracultural importance, was stressed. The complexity of the bell manufacturing process and a unique approach to the technology design were highlighted. Basing on the data obtained from foundry shops currently operating in Poland, known as bell-casting foundries, the main guidelines for the bell casting process as used nowadays by the Felczyński Foundry with long-standing traditions and Wojdak’s Foundry, both of which are casting bells according to modern technologies, using modern moulding materials and metal alloys, were described.
