That link was just thrown together as a quick and dirty way of getting the back bells into home position – swapping the front and back sixes in the place notation gets you to the course head 135642, which isn’t much use. But you could construct other link methods to get to good coursing orders quickly, I’m sure.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This is getting away from Jack’s original idea a bit, but it occurs to me that this could be a quite fun way to get the mega tittums course within a bigger structure:</div><div class="">1.
