Perhaps Don or someone would remind me of what exactly are the various 
variations of Kent and Oxford Treble Bob; Ilkeston, Worcester, 
Liversdege, Hampole and Killamarsh. The first I believe is effectively 
half-lead splicing of Oxford into Kent to keep the tenors out of the 
slow, but I forget the others. This arrangement could easily be written 
out as a block and named as a "method" under some of the current 
proposals, if I understand them correctly, although the historic 
approach seems to have served the exercise well enough.

I appreciate that these will be variations rather than rotations, and 
perhaps could be considered as calls or compositions, but I suspect they 
could be relevant to the current debate.

How would Don's composition below have to appear under some of the new 
suggestions.
