Campanalogia : $b or The art of ringing improved : with plain and easie rules to guide the practitioner in the ringing all kinds of changes, to which is added, great variety of new peals.
Stedman, Fabian
Bells; Change ringing
So that the making of the extream changes two ways in the twenty four,
proceeds from the two ways of making the six changes on three bells.
This last way of making the extream changes, may, for distinction from
the other way, be called _mediums_; which term is very proper, in regard
that the two middlemost of the four notes do always make the extream
change. The extream changes in one peal must all be made alike, that is,
either betwixt the two farthest notes from the hunt, or else betwixt the
two nearest notes to it; but the most usual way is to make them between
the two farthest.
Any note may be made a hunt at pleasure, and its first motion at the
beginning of the peal may be either up or down. The twenty four changes
may be rung sixteen ways according to the aforesaid method, yet the
changes to each are still one and the same; but by making each note a
hunt, and moving it either up or down at the beginning, and also by
making the extream changes two ways, the course of the changes will be
so altered, that the same changes shall not come all along together in
any two of those sixteen ways. With the hunting of one note it may be
rung four ways; for the note may move either up or down at the beginning
of the peal; then in its motion either way the extream changes maybe
made two ways, as before: so that to make each note a hunt, and with
each hunt to ring it four ways makes sixteen in the whole. Wherein ’tis
observable, that the treble-note cannot be moved down at first, nor the
_4th_ up; therefore an extream change must first be made, which is as
effectual as if either note had moved at first. I have here prickt the
twenty four changes three ways, wherein the extream changes are all made
betwixt the two farthest notes from the hunt.
