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
In the sixscore changes there is a whole-hunt, a half-hunt, and four
extream bells. The half-hunt and four extream bells do make the twenty
changes in the same manner as the twenty changes were made upon five
bells with one hunt. _page 61._ The whole hunt hath a continual motion
through the other five notes, and every time it leads and lies behind
them, one of the twenty changes must then be made. In this example,
treble is the whole-hunt, 2 the half-hunt, and 3456 extream bells;
therefore 23456 must make the twenty changes wherein 2 is the hunt, and
every time it lies either before the four extream bells, or behind them,
an extream change must then be made, which here shall be betwixt the two
farthest extream bells from the half-hunt. The treble hunts up (_a_).
One of the twenty changes must now be made, therefore 2 being the hunt
in it, must begin its course through the extream bells (_b_). The treble
hunts down (_c_); The half-hunt proceeds forward (_d_); the treble hunts
up (_e_); the half-hunt proceeds forward in its course (_f_); the treble
hunts down (_g_); the 2 proceeds forward (_h_); the treble hunts up
(_i_); the half-hunt should now proceed forward, but its course through
the extream bells being finished, therefore an extream change must be
made betwixt 3.4, which are the two farthest extream bells from it,
(_k_). The treble must hunt down (_l_); the half-hunt must now go its
course again through the extream bells, and first it moves down under
the _6th_, (_m_) _&c._ which method must be continued to the end. Any
note may be made a whole hunt at pleasure, or a half-hunt also. And the
extream changes may be made betwixt the two nearest extream notes to the
half-hunt; but withall observing to make all the extreams in one peal
alike. There are four extream changes in each peal, and thirty changes
distance from one to another.
