I believe there may be a longer version of this document somewhere. But nonetheless, this is pretty cool.

One thing I'd like to mention about this document. Yes it makes mention of the S3E and S5A, both of these horns would have used the 247 bell which is lower pitched and longer than a modern day 25 bell. To date I have never seen any evidence that either of these horns ever actually existed or were produced. No 247 bells have ever been found, either original or "scrubbed" where the original three digit cast on number was ground off and an incorrect 2 digit number was stamped on. While extremely rare there are at least two examples of the S5D known to exist. No S3E's or S5A's are known to ever exist, I believe these two to be a similar instance as the Prime 5 chime, offered in a catalogue but never actually produced.

I'd love to see evidence to prove me wrong!
