In the "hope I'm not too late department".......
In Bulletin #43 labeled "9900" there are a number of photos that
clearly show the three bells (horns) of the chime.
Largest one is just to the engineers side of center, and the two
smaller ones are just to the firemans side of center with the larger
of those two closest to center.
Perhaps by seeing the size of the horns one can "guesstimate" the
note that would be sounded by that particular horn.
Have fun!!
