hi anokha,
my hunch is as under, correct me if i am wrong:
22A= CHANGE RINGING
22D= CHALK (from chalk & cheese)
sudarshan
I think you are right Sudarshan
Below is a extract from a thesaurus
carillon playing - playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower
carillon, bell ringing
music - musical activity (singing or whistling etc.); "his music was his central interest"
change ringing - ringing tuned bells in a fixed order that is continually changing
Yup, you are absolutely right on both counts. I was waylaid by reading "dairy" as "diary" and putting down Frank (for Ann Frank - writer). Hence the "Flange" and they are usually referred to as Flange Rings. They come in sets (companion). But, I guess I was just thinking too much to fit things in once I got waylaid!!
Nice work, thanks!
