stretch of the imagination there are no 'set rules' for quarter peals. The CC
give guidelines for peals and as far as I know these can not be recognised
rung on three bells. However they are recorded (but not since 1961) but not
counted in my analysis. However repeated quarters on 3 can lead to an
augmentation.<FONT color=navy><SPAN

original point that counting an augmentation from 3 as a new ring is wrong –
there is no reason to treat them any differently to, say 4 to 5 or 5 to 6
augmentations. Although most ringers and territorial associations take no
interest in lower numbers (except in occasional fits of
control-freakery)<WBR>, they are still rings of
bells.<O></O></SPAN></FONT></P>
