Index to carillons and chimes by Bigelow

Prof. Arthur Bigelow (1910-1967) of Princeton University provided bells for various carillons and chimes in the USA. Some he cast himself, and some he obtained from the Paccard foundry of France. The sites listed here are thought to be those for which he made the bells himself, and they are shown in order by year of installation.
Following the year is an indication of the founder's contribution to the instrument:

C = Complete instrument
F = Foundation; originally a complete installation, later expanded
I = Intermediate expansion
E = Final expansion to current state

Finally, there is an indication of the type of instrument:

  trad      - carillon with traditional keyboard
