Suggested sequences of call
changes
Given below are two suggested sets of call changes
that would comply with the rules. These are suggestions only. Any changes may
be called provided the rows 32165498710 and 13579246810 appear and 3 bells
share the leading. 15432987610 and 12397546810 had been required changes, but
these have been dropped to reduce the minimum number of calls that need to be
made. The “no. of handstrokes” column gives an idea of the frequency with which
calls need to be made.
