Smith ------------ COLLECTION OF TREBLE PLACE METHODS ---------- March 2024 ---------- CONTENTS Introduction INTRO.TXT Minimus methods TPL4.TXT Doubles methods TPL5.TXT Minor methods TPL6.TXT Triples and higher stage methods TPL7.TXT Alphabetical Index TPLIND.TXT INTRODUCTION This collection contains rung Treble Place methods for all stages from Minimus upwards. Each method entry consists of an index number, the name, place notation, lead head produced, date and place of the first peal and references. The index number is only significant within this edition of this collection. Double-hunt methods are grouped according to the symmetry of their place notations. This symmetry is indicated by (a), (b) or (c) in the table headings, where (a) means symmetric like Grandsire, (b) means symmetric like Plain Bob and (c) means asymmetric. For palindromic single-hunt and double-hunt (b) methods the place notation is given up to and including the half lead place, followed by the lead end place. For double-hunt (a) methods the place notation is given up to and including the places made while the hunt bells cross behind. For double-hunt (c) and non-palindromic methods the entire place notation is given. For methods with Plain Bob lead heads, the lead head produced is given by a code from the following table. Lead heads for single-hunt methods are in the top left and bottom right hand sections, codes a - f and p - q are for seconds place lead ends and codes g - m and r - s for lead ends with no internal places. Lead heads for double-hunt methods are in the top right and bottom left hand sections. For methods with non-Plain Bob lead heads the actual lead head is given.
