                              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.
