[r-t] 41 Surprise Minor

[Alexander Holroyd]

It seems to me that the following trivial but useful simplification is 
possible in John Warboys' beautiful and already "classic" bobs-only 
41-spliced composition.  Perhaps John or somebody can check whether or not 
I'm being stupid here.

The London-above block of SU0308 finishes with a bob, bringing up 34256 as 
the first part end.  However, this bob can be omitted, since it will not 
come round after one part, so doing so just rearranges the three parts. As 
a result of this, the part now ends with a plain lead of Co, so the 
instruction "in part 3 call Li for both leads of Co and Co for both leads 
of Li" (which was presumably included to ensure a plain lead of every 
method) can be omitted.  (Li and Co are lead-splicers).  Finally, since 
the substitutions of We for Lo must match the substitutions of Nw/Ak and 
Mo/Ct in the earlier blocks to get proper 3-lead splices, we must now make 
sure we do them in part 2 (which was part 3).

So we get:

   23456 Lo Ke Lo
- 23564 Li Li
- 45236 Lo Ke Lo
- 45362 Co
- 56234 Cu Co
   42356
   Repeat twice, in part 2 call We for all 4 leads of Lo.

Not a big change, obviously, but every little helps the novice conductor!
