repeated, replacing the bracketted calls with a bob at the same lead (-2)
Apart from normal bobs, the other calls used are:
E= 5ths place when the treble is in 3-4 down; S= grandsire single;
EB= E followed by normal bob;   ES = E followed by grandsire single.

This peal is an analogue of Holt's Original peal of Grandsire Triples.
Oxford Bob Triples appears (as far as I can see) to have no exact
equivalent of the bob course (BBB) of Grandsire triples, which is
symmetrical and hence reversible.

Using two types of bobs, there is a reversible two lead course:


1234567
2135476
2314567
3241576
3425167
4352617
4536271
5463721
5647312
6574132 E
6751423
7615432 B
7164523
1765432
1674523  x2

=3.1.5.1.7.1.7.1.7.1.5.1.3.1   x2

This course can be singled into a round block containing the rest of the
leads.
Because both the E bobs and the normal B bobs affect 3 bells, there have to
be at least 6 of each kind of bob in this composition.
Because the round block has an even number of leads (358), a two part
composition is possible.

If the two-lead course is left out, a block of 5012 changes is produced. Is
this the longest possible non peal?
