The foregoing method may be rung with the hind bells in other situations, viz. 7-8- g-x at home every course-end, or 7-x-8-g, but we think the foregoing way the best, as it is • exactly on the Cater System, and by referring to which the practitioner may have any length he pleases.

London Court Bob and Norwich Court Bob, but here we have no occasion for any such distinction as in the aboye they both unite, for, on inspection, the above will appear .exactly to correspond with that on six bells, and which both the others in some measure differ, nor will it admit on eight bells exactly. For example, in the London Court, the bells dodge before and behind, according to the proper method, but then the places there made does not agree with that on six bells on the other hand, in Norwich Court the places are right, and that causing double dodging before and behind, makes it imperfect ; whereas the .above is perfectly consistent and uniform. In respect to the method of ringing or com­ posing Court ten in, it is similar to Norwich Court (as eighth's place is made at the bobs) except in ringing you only run single instead of double, and make eighth's and seventh's, seventh's and eighth's places instead of fifth's .and sixth's. A Key to tlu Arl of R;,.gittg. 32I The following are the bob changes and course·ends of the first part of 5400, which being four times repeated completes the peal. gx7856423 795X48623 x8g273645 45362 *gx786~345 53462 *gx786253 x8g273456 Course-ends of 56342 each part. 36245 42563 gx7842563 65324 x8g276354 54632 23456 The above peal may be reduced to 5040 changes, by omitting the three bobs marked,* in either of the parts, or it may be augmented to above 6ooo, by adding a course more to each part, which may be done by calling another bob when g--x is before. X 322 Clavis Ca"!pa.alogits; tw, N. B.-The first and only peal that has been rung hitherto in the a~ve method was by the St. Peter's company, in the city of Norwich, on the old peal of ten bells, which formerly occupied that steeple. We cannot help here making another observation, which is, notwithstanding the custom of making eighth's place at the bob was from the first origin of this method, we don't conceive it obligates every company to abide by it, neither should .they be tied to making a particular place at a bob in any other method ; by all means let every one follow his taste in this particular, as the art of pricking will still be the same, for whoever has skill as a composer can very easily surmount any alterations of that kind, therefore in this method we would recommend fourth's place at the bob as it certainly would make great amendment to the music in a peal or even a touch, for by having the bobs in this manner you fall into the treble bob system as far as that of making Triple dodges while the great bells are behind, which is so much admired by all professors of the exercise, it will likewise lengthen the courses in a similar manner, A Key to IM Arl ~t Ritfgi11g. 323 therefore it is necessary to pursue the same method in composing ; upon the whole, we think this way would have much the pre­ ference. By way of specimen we give the following peal with fourth's place "at the bobs. 2345678gx 642385x79 • 264385x79 1 2635478gx 8 2657394X8 ° 3526478gx • 2356478gx' Course-ends of each part. 2367594X8 ° 42563 5623478gx • 2563478gx' 36245 2537694x8 ° 54632 3257694X8 1 6532478gx • 23456 The aboTe bob changes are the first part of «>oo, which, four times repeated, completes the peal. - CHAPT~R XVII. OXFORD TREBLE BOB ROYAL. AVING already shown the inutility 111 of more than eight bells in pricking the bob changes for ten or twelve, particu­ larly even bell methods, we shall therefore make no further observation thereon, but proceed. The following peal consists of 5040 changes upon the most simple construction, being comprised in three parts, making together only nine courses in the whole.

We shall there­ fore now give peals in this method, by course­ ·ends only. The following is the course-ends of 5200 <:hanges, being the full extent that can be -obtained in nine courses only. 56342 I M 32654 36524 64523 2 H 54263 I M 23645 26435 65432 23456 I H N. B.-In this peal there are only five· omits,* which are marked by the side of each course what they are, viz. 1 M, signifying there was one bob omitted, when the tenor· dodged in 7-8 coming down, commonly called the middle ; R signifies when she dodges in· g-x the wrong way, and H when she dodges at home, or in g-x the right way; for example, in the first course of the above peal thEre was one­ omit in the middle, in the second course two at home ; in the 5th one in the middle ; and in the ninth or last one at home. The foregoing· nine courses if run on twelTe bells would. produce 7104 changes.

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.

  • 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.

    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.
