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
always come together to make a change in one place, just at 120 changes
distance from one another throughout each peal. Now as the second
_extream_ must be made just 360 changes from the first, so the making of
it may thus be guided: Look how many changes, or else how many leadings
of the _whole-hunt_ the first _extream_ is made after the _half_ and
_quarter-hunts_ have made a change together, so many changes or leadings
of the _whole-hunt_ must the second _extream_ be made, after the third
following time that those two bells do made a change in the same place
again. And likewise in all peals, where there are single and double
_bobs_, the same observations will also hold good, in making the
_extreams_ either after the single or double _bobs_ as before; there
being likewise 120 changes distance between the single _bobs_ and also
between the double _bobs_: so that if the first _extream_ is made at a
single _bob_, the second must then be made at the third following single
_bob_, and the like also at double _bobs_. And such kind of
observations, according to the nature of the peal, will guide the making
of the second _extream_ in any peal, either upon five or six bells.
Wherein ’tis observable, that the second _extream_ must always be made
by the same two bells, and in the same place where the first was made,
which two bells will in course lie apt for that purpose; and the rest of
the bells will also in course lie in the same places at the second
_extream_ where they lay at the first. After the making of the first
_extream_, the method of the peal goeth on as if no _extream_ had been
made; and also after the making of the second _extream_ if any
remaineth, it also goes on, until in course the bells come round.
In all compleat peals of _doubles_ upon six bells there may also
moveable _extreams_ be made, which are made according to this rule;
wheresoever any two of the _extream_ bells are together, and in course
to lie still, those two bells by making a change will thereby make the
_extream_, which is as effectual as the fixed _extream_, the reason and
ground of both being one and the same. There are also two of these
_extreams_ in the peal, and the second always made 360 changes from the
first, and the making of it guided by such kind of observations as
before. When moveable _extreams_ are made, then there will be two triple
changes in the 720; but when fixed _extreams_ are made, then two
_singles_.
