Bells; Change ringing
The _Experiment_ upon _six_ may also be rung _Comprehensively_ herein.
The six first bells to go that compleat peal, the two hindmost of the
eight bells in the mean time dodging; and every time the _3d_ bell comes
to call the _Parting_ change on six, then instead of it a _Grand_ change
must be made, that is, a _triple_ on the six middle bells: and then the
six first bells to go the compleat peal again, the two hindmost bells in
the mean time dodging as before, untill the third bell calls another
_Grand_ change, and so successively; there being three of them in the
peal, and 360 changes. If the bells are placed 23567148 at the
beginning, the 4.8 will dodg behind the first _sixscore_ of it, 4.1 the
second, and 1.8 the third, and then the _5th_ may call the _Grand_
changes in the place of the _3d_; or any other three bells may be laid
behind at first, for the sake of Musical dodging. The first _Grand_
change may be made either at the first second third fourth or fifth
_Parting_ change, observing, that whatsoever bell at the first _Grand_
change should then in course have call’d a _Parting_ change, every time
that bell comes to call a _Parting_ change, it must call a _Grand_
change in the place of it: or else any one of the six first bells (the
_whole-hunt_ excepted) may be appointed beforehand to attend the calling
of the _Grand_ changes, observing, that every time that bell comes to
call a _Parting_ change, a _Grand_ change must be call’d in the place of
it.
_Imperial Bob._
_Quadruples and Triples._ The Treble hath a dodging course. The two
first and two last bells always dodg until the Treble hindreth them, and
in the mean time the two next bells to those dodging bells do lie still
one change, dodg the next, and so by turns until the Treble also
hindreth them. And the two bells in the fifth and sixth places whilst
the Treble is behind, and those in the _3d_ and _4th_ places when ’tis
before dodg, until Treble likewise hindreth them. By this method it will
go 224, and by making of _bobs_ it will go 448, 672, or 1344. The _bob_
is a _triple_ change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in
the fourth place lieth still.
