[r-t] Grandsire Triples (was old methods)

[Stephen Ivin]

Bell News, Vol 2, p269 gives the following:

The following peal, which is upon an original plan, consists of five 
parts in each half-peal, the two halves being called alike. If the part 
be four times repeated, omitting the call at the fifth lead in the first 
course in each of the other parts, the first half peal will be produced.
Only one call, a single, is used throughout this peal, of which the 
following is an example :-   
5172634
1572634
1756243
7152634
This peal is an exceptionally easy one to call as the seventh is called 
into and out of the hunt at the beginning of each course and also 
called" Before" in the fifth and six courses in each series of six courses.
