Image description

A reportage on the bell foundry "Rueetschi" in Aarau, Switzerland, dated 1959. In the picture, the workers are busy lighting the fire in the furnace. Hours ahead of the actual bell-founding, the furnace is heated up in order for the bell metal, usually a mix of copper and tin, to reach a temperature of up to around 1100 degrees centigrade before the bell is being cast.
