On the other hand, using a multiplicity of types of calls can,
depending upon your taste in such matters, get more musical rows into
a peal of Rutland than is usual, as the following first attempt at
constructing such a beast demonstrates. Whether or not such a thing is
worth ringing remains at best debatable. Apart from about eight leads
around each part end you are in bizarre courses that generate just a
few good rows, but are otherwise indifferent. Then again, I
suppose something similar could be said about most normal peals of
Rutland, too.

- = 14; s = 1234; x = 16; z = 1256; y = 125678.

Contains all 24 each 7568s and 7658s, 18 each 56s, 65s, 5678s off the
front and 6578s off the front, 12 each 2468s, 8765s off the front and
8756s off the front, queens, Whittingtons, tittums and back rounds,
with no backstroke 87s.

Because the tenors are affected by so many calls, and the various
kinds of calls affect them differently the above may be difficult to
follow. Here are the lead ends of the first part:
