Bells; Change ringing
The treble hath a direct hunting course as in plain changes, and every
other bell hath also a like hunting course with that of the treble
except when the _bobs_ hinder. The _bobs_ are double changes, and made
on the two first and two last bells according to this rule, _viz._ every
time the _treble_ goes to lead and leaves leading, a _bob_-change is
then made, except the _5th_ lying next it makes a change there with it,
and then not. Now ’tis observable, that once in twenty changes, that is,
at every second leading of the treble, the _5th_ lies next it, and
consequently there is but one _bob_-change then to be made, but at other
times two; so that at one leading of the treble there is but one
_bob_-change made, at the next leading there are two, and so
successively by turns, which for distinction may be call’d _single_ and
_double bobs_, The two bells that dodg behind at a _bob_ continue there
dodging until the treble comes up and displaceth them, and at every
_bob-change_ the bell in the _3d_ place lieth still, and then moves down
to lead. By this method it will go sixty changes; and to carry on the
course _extreams_ must be made, there being two in the peal. The manner
of making an _extream_ I have at large shewed in the _Introduction_, and
the _extreams_ may here be made in any place according to the general
rule there set down. The easiest way in practice is to make them at the
leadings of the treble; at any single _bob_ it maybe made behind, two of
the _extream_ bells lying there, and to lie still whilst the bells in
the _2d_ and _3d_ places do make the _single_ change: at any double
_bob_ it may be made in the _2d_ and _3d_ places, so that the _single_
must there be made behind. If the first _extream_ is made at the single
_bob_, the second must be made at the third following single _bob_; or
if the first is made at a double _bob_, the second must be made at the
third double _bob_ following, as in this peal here prickt, where the
first _extream_ is made at a double _bob_, and the second also made at
the third following double _bob_.
