It's a fascinating subject. A lot of info is available on
<http://www.hibberts.co.uk/>, including some interesting
historical papers (one by Rayleigh himself, and an account
of an historical court case involving bells).

If you follow the link 'Bell collection' you'll find a number
of pages that preset measured partial frequencies in html table
format. You'll need some (simple) calculations to convert those
to Hz, but they look quite interesting.
