Have a look at (for example):

  <http://www.heatons.fsnet.co.uk/Ringing/Conducting/Session5/Theory.htm>

This explains a lot of the notation.

- is a bob, s a single.

The headings refer to the positions of the 6, so W is the first lead end 
where the 6 dodges 5-6 up, H is the fifth lead end where it dodges 6-5 down.

4ths means that the 6 makes the bob, In that it runs in, Out that it 
runs out. S3rds  - make 3rds at a single.

The numbers under the W and H column mean the number of calls in the 
same position, and the 3* points to the note underneath (s - -) meaning 
the call is a single in the first course and a bob in the next two. 
Similarly the 6 gives the pattern of calls at the same position, s - - s 
- - (each of these will be one course apart).

In the first touch the lead sequence starts:

s p p p p
b p p p p
b p p p b
p p p p b
p p p p b at which point you should have the lead end 132456

That should give enough to get started. Try writing out the individual 
lead ends to check that you get the figures given.
