[Bell Historians] Re: Alan Buswell's "new survey" (RW, page 541)

[David Bryant]

"At the far 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."

 

I cannot see that the rules for peals are really relevant - they do not
apply to quarters.

 

I maintain my 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), they are still rings of bells.
