In response to the question about why the Bass Trombone was not put in Treble
Clef is, I believe, that the original Bass Trombone was pitched in G and was
not easy to transposde and write inti Treble Clef.

It has  also been suggsted that in the early days the G Trombone did not
require to learn treble clef beacuse they only needed 1st and 7th position
which were usded alternately!
