Port Bell is a small industrial centre near Kampala in Uganda, that has a harbour, which is used for international traffic across Lake Victoria.
The port is named after Sir Hesketh Bell, a British commissioner, who took over administration of Britain's interests in Uganda in 1906. The nearest town is Luzira, is 1 mile away.
Lake Victoria ferries operate from the port linking Kampala, 7 miles / 10 km away by railway, to other posts on Lake Victoria including Jinja, Kisumu and Mwanza.
When the first stage of the Uganda Railway was completed in 1901, the railhead was at Kisumu, 12 hours journey from Port Bell by ship. Ferries brought goods by lake between Port Bell and Kisumu. It was not until 1931 that a branch line of the railway from Nakuru reached Kampala.
At present, Uganda Breweries has its main brewery at Port Bell. In the 1960s one of the first instant tea factories was located at Port Bell as was a factory distilling warragi, a strong, indigenous, alcoholic drink.
The bell cup means defines an axis of rotation and an interior including an axially rearward metal back region, an axially forward metal discharge edge, and a metal side region extending from the back region toward the discharge edge and terminating at the discharge edge.
As the shaft 16 on which bell cup 12 is mounted rotates, the material 26 is forced radially outward and forward along the inner surface 28 of the bell cup 12, forming a film.
Bell cup 12 has an annular ridge 100 just forward of threaded bore 88 that engages a front end 102 of shaft 16 to orient bell cup 12 properly on shaft 16 so that forward end 32 of portion 42 is substantially coplanar with discharge end 32 of feed tube 22.
