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
The letter _h_ standing by the figures signifies _half-hunt_, that is,
the motion of the _half-hunt_ in that change; and likewise _q_ the
_quarter-hunt_. Here are the first _sixscore_ changes of a _seven
hundred and twenty_; wherein ’tis observable, that all the changes at
_h_ and _q_ being set down by themselves in the same successive order as
they were made, that is, the 1 to be excluded, and the changes on the
other five figures to be set down directly under one another, and the
_extream_ change at last, it will thereby appear, that the five figures
have made twenty changes of a _sixscore_, according to the method of the
example on five bells, _page 63._ with this only difference, these are
made on 23456, and those were made on 12345; but the five figures of
each have both alike course, the _2d_ and _3d_ going the same course in
this, as the _treble_ and _2d_ did in that. Now whereas the _sixscore_
changes here prickt down are a sixth part of the _seven hundred_ and
_twenty_, so likewise are the _twenty changes_, here made by 23456, a
sixth part of the _sixscore_: and then consequently, the _seven hundred_
and _twenty_ changes being all prickt, the _sixscore_ changes on 23456
would plainly appear therein, in the same manner as twenty of them
appear in this _sixscore_. Therefore more need not be said of the method
of the 720, since the method of the _sixscore_ changes on five bells
being well understood, will be a sure and certain guide to the Learner:
only this one thing farther; in ringing of this peal with any _hunts_,
the second _extream_ change being made between the two bells which made
the first _extream_, will always bring the bells round at the end of the
_twelvescore_. But after _twelvescore_ are made, they cannot in course
be brought round until the end of the 720.
