<BR>change ringing is so very well told by John Eisel and the late Bill
<BR>Cook in Volume 1 of "Change Ringing History: The History of an English
<BR>Art" (CCBR Publication)<WBR>?<BR><BR>R<BR><BR>> <BR>> An interesting
thread.<BR>> I wonder if changing at one stroke only had application where
full<BR>> wheels were not present.<BR>> getting a bell 3/4 up and
controlling it on a leaver results in a hand<BR>> stroke but no back
stroke.<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
