   The UNK Website spells the tower name

*Technical data:

   Electric-automatic carillon of 24 bells
   Pitch of heaviest bell is unknown

   Keyboard range:     ----  /    ----  
   The whole instrument was installed in 1985
     with bells made by Paccard

*Links:

On the UNK Website, an e-postcard facility offers a very unusual perspective.  The tower is also pictured on a UNK directory page.  But there is no information about the bells themselves.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Paccard bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
