Royal Bellfounders Petit & Fritsen, located in Aarle-Rixtel, the Netherlands, is a former foundry, one of the oldest family-owned businesses in the Netherlands, with the foundry dating back to 1660.[1]
Petit & Fritsen was a foundry that cast bells from tintinnabulous bell metal. The bells could be mounted as individual striking instruments, as for example in a clock tower; could be combined into striking chimes; or could be mounted in complex carillons.
In 2014 Royal Eijsbouts, in Asten, acquired bell foundry Petit & Fritsen, their last Dutch competitor. Foundry activities in Aarle-Rixtel were terminated and re-allocated to Asten.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
