The development of change ringing in the early 17th century was mainly due to the invention of the full-circle wheel on which the bells were mounted. By pulling a rope, a bell would make a rotation of almost 360 degrees with a period of approximately two seconds. The time between two strikes of the same bell could be controlled rather accurately, which made it possible to ring a certain number of bells all after each other and keep repeating this in the same order.

    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.

  • Skill Section
    Skill Section Preface Participants, instructors and assessors should take note of the conditions as laid down in the Award Handbook. This programme is for guidance and is not to be taken as a rigid syllabus. To indicate the content appropriate to young people with varying degrees of knowledge and experience, it is arranged under three headings: 'For beginners', 'For those with some knowledge' and 'For the more advanced'. Participants are free to select as broad or as restricted an aspect of this skill as they wish, but appropriate social and cultural aspects are to be covered. MUSIC CAMPANOLOGY (Church Bell Ringing) Introduction Those taking part should have some understanding of the history and development of campanology and of the social implications and consequences of this particular activity. These might include such topics as the contrast of church bell ringing from different countries or from different periods, or an evaluation of the part played by music in times of crisis. For assessment, each individual is to produce evidence of regular application to the interest over the required period. Notes on Assessment 1 A high standard of striking and freedom from trips should be maintained in all practical work. 2 Work is based on a minimum of five bells except where more are required. For beginners: Award participants should: 1 Have attended regularly at one particular tower for Sunday Service ringing and practice during the stipulated period. Be able to: 2 Ring rounds accurately. 3 Raise and lower a bell unaided. 4 Ring the treble to two standard methods (see note 2) i) Grandsire Doubles ii) Plain Bob Doubles or Minor.

  • Grandsire Triples Roy Dyckhoff St Andrews University [email protected] [email protected] 2 January 2018
    A note on bobs-only Grandsire Triples Roy Dyckhoff St Andrews University [email protected] [email protected] 2 January 2018 Abstract. In 1886, Thompson presented proofs that (i) there is no bobs-only extent of Grandsire Triples, that (ii) there is no bobs-only touch of Grandsire Triples longer than 4998 changes, and that (iii), in the case of a bobs-only touch of 4998 changes, the remainder is a bob course. We argue that, although the results are supported by experience, his proofs of (ii) and (iii) are incorrect; however, a correct proof (without explicit criticism of Thompson's proof) of (ii) is to be found in 2016 work by van der Sluijs. We outline a minor variant of this proof and extend it with a proof, superseding Thompson's incorrect proof, of (iii). (There is no challenge to the correctness of his proof of (i).) 1 Introduction Wilson [16] is a good (but imperfect) reference for many of the campanological terms not defined here. We consider mainly the method of Grandsire Triples, but we comment on other methods so that what is special about Grandsire Triples stands out. Our object is to show that an argument of Thompson [13] from 1886 about long bobs-only1 touches of Grandsire Triples is incorrect. We recall that (for Grandsire Triples) a plain course (if starting from rounds) consists2 of the five rows3 1253746; 1275634; 1267453; 1246375; 1234567 and a bob course, also if starting from rounds, consists of the three rows 1752634; 1467352; 1234567: There is however no requirement to start from rounds.
