INTRODUCTION The purpose of this thesis is to review and formulate the history and information concerning bells and campaniles which will aid in the designing of a campanile suitable for Kansas State College. It is hoped that the showing of a design for such a structure with the accompanying model will further stimulate the interest of both students, faculty members, and others in the ultimate completion of such a project. The design for such a tower began about two years ago when the senior Architectural Design Class, of which I was a member, was given a problem of designing a campanile for the campus. The problem was of great interest to me and became more so when I learned that the problem had been given to the class with the thought in mind that some day a campanile would be built.

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.

A portion of the cause of this problem is the difficulty in learning handbells when there are not enough experienced ringers available to teach it.

  • Treble Dodging Minor Methods: Ringing the Cosets, on Six Bells
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Discrete Mathematics 122 (1993) 307-323 307 North-Holland Treble dodging minor methods: ringing the cosets, on six bells Arthur T. White Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI 49008. USA Received 13 July 1992 Ahstruct A general theory is developed to analyze Treble Dodging methods, for change ringing extents, on n=2 (mod4) bells, and then specialized to six bells, by means of Schreier right coset graphs of comparatively low order. The theory is then applied to the eight Treble Bob Minor methods, the six Delight Minor methods, and the fifteen Surprise Minor methods that appear in the book Diagrams. In each case all possible extents of the form [ W(P, B)]” are obtained and exhibited, where P and B denote the plain and bob leads, respectively, and W(P,B) is a word in these two letters. This application is then extended to all 152 Treble Dodging methods appearing in Collection of Minor Methods, Fifth Edition and beyond, to the classification and construction of additional Treble Dodging minor methods, as appearing in Collection of Minor Methods, Sixth Edition and in Treble Dodging Minor Methods. 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to present a relatively efficient means of analyzing, by the use of Schreier right coset graphs, Treble Dodging methods of change ringing extents. The analysis is particularly simple for Treble Dodging Minor methods, and the general theory is applied to all twenty-nine such appearing in Diagrams [ 12).
