[r-t] Old doubles collection

[Richard Johnston]

Hi Don

Did you get any answers to this question?  

I don't have the collection you want, but, I have located the 
collection of doubles methods that I have got, which is the 1961 2nd 
edition.  

Its preface gives some insight on the questions you ask.  I have 
attached an ocred copy.  

Towards the end of the preface, read particularly the paragraph 
starting "We regret the disappearance of some of the older 
methods..."  I also note that they gratuitously changed some existing 
methods (e.g. Antelope) to suit their prejudices.  

It was "issued under the authority of the Council" - says it all 
about their attitude.

As for date of CC decision change, this obviously gives a later 
bound, and probably the decision is not much earlier.


http://www.methods.org.uk/archive/ccr1955.htm

says that in 1954 " That, in future, all peals not conforming to the 
Council´s decisions will not be included in the Analysis; they will, 
however, if sent, be published in The Ringing World."  So decision 
must surely be after that.


There was another set of big changes to doubles methods in the late 
1960s if I recall correctly, which disnamed variations like April 
Day.

I you have found a copy of the 1st edn, I'd be interested in seeing a 
copy.

Yours

Richard
