[r-t] Triples puzzles

[Alexander E Holroyd]

Congratulations Richard, very interesting stuff!

The group 6.08 (which has 6.12 as an index-2 subgroup) was also used for 
St Francis Minor.

Since your "calls" come in q-sets of 3, I guess the composition involves 
ringing some parts of courses backwards (as in WHW), right?

I'm not convinced it's quite something I would want to ring, yet.  Can 
you think of any other approaches?
