[r-t] Plain Bob lead heads/ends (was ringing-theory Digest, Vol 89, Issue 9)

[Philip Saddleton]

Correct. If you are looking for a sufficient condition that does not 
involve the complete set, it is that there are two Plain Bob lead ends 
with the transposition between them being of order n-1 (which is 
trivially true if n-1 is prime).

[the transposition can be used to define a coursing order, and two 
methods with the same coursing order must have the same set of lead heads]
