[r-t] minor with no adjacent places

[Philip Saddleton]

Treble place methods would seem to be ruled out as well - the two rows 
with the treble in the same place need tobe of opposite parity, so where 
a place is made within the half-lead this must be a single change.

The reason that extents of original can be achieved with bobs only is 
that causing the treble to dodge changes the parity of rows with it in a 
given position. We can use the same trick to get an extent of a Plain 
method with no single changes, as John Holt did for Plain Bob. Single 
Court is the obvious choice for a method with no adjacent places, but 
such an extent could be construed as Original. For something that cannot:

720 Stedman Bob Minor
  123456
x615342
  136254
-154236
  136425
  125643
  143562
  162354
-154362
  162435
  135246
x261435
-154623
x156342
-142356
  156234
  134625
  125463
  163542
-142563
  163254
-154263
  163425
3-part
Calls marked x are made in 36 and affect the treble, jumping to a 
different point in the lead.

To answer the original question, I doubt that anything other than 
Original has been rung.
