e, which comes by turns, one
single, and the next double throughout the Peal.
The greatest variety of this Peal consists in making the
single changes. In this way of Ringing it (with any whole
Hunt and half Hunt) the first single change may be made
either at the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth
Bobs, at the single or double Bobs at pleasure; observing
for a constant Rule, that the half Hunt is alwayes one of
the two bells which makes every single change; for the single
changes are so contrived, that (in making them) the whole
Hunt and half Hunt are to continue their constant course as
at other times. At the single Bob, the single change is made
in seconds and thirds places; and at the double Bob, 'tis
made in fourth and fifths places, the other three bells lying
still in their places, whil'st each single change is made;
the next change to each single, is a Bob-change; every single
change is made when the whole hunt lies before the bells;
there being alwayes sixty changes, from the first single
change to the second; if the first single change is made at a
single bob, then the second single change must be made at the
third single bob from it; or if the first single change is
made at a double bob, the second single change must be made
at the third double bob from that where the first was made.
This Peal may be rang without making any single change
therein, which is done by making a double change to
supply the place of it. There are two of these double
changes in each Peal; the first of them may be made at
any bob within sixty changes from the beginning of the
Peal, and the second is to be made just sixty changes
from the first. At a double bob, it may be made at either
of the two bob-changes; at the first of them, 'tis made
by moving the whole Hunt down, and the bell in thirds place
up over two bells at once into the tenors place, thus:--
41325
14253
In making it at the second bob change of the double bob,
'tis the same as at the first, only in that the whole Hunt
moved down to lead; but in this it must move up from before
the bells into the seconds place, as in this change:--
12435
21354
The changes next following these, are the same as at other
times.
