The above examples will enable the practitioner to obtain other touches, either at hand or backstroke. DOUBLE GRANDSIRE TRIPLES. This peal having the same properties as Grandsire Triples, two touches, containing Queens and tittums, &c, with one of each plan of real double, and a quarter-peal, will be sufficient. They can be augmented or reduced at pleasure; or the touches in the single method can be had in this. 765423 1-657423 2 435267 3--234756 5 Twice repeated. 546.-467352 1-675324 4-752346 4-524367 4 Twice repeated. For the scale of bob changes, see page 83, as they are the same for this peal, the only difference being in the number of the leads. The bringing of the bells round is likewise by the same rule of plain, the bobs only coming at different numbers of leads. DOUBLE GRANDSIRE CATERS. This likewise is similar to single Grandsire Caters, having the same bob changes, and differing only in the number of its leads. As in the preceding peal of Triples, the touches in the single method, by affixing to the bob changes the numbers for double, and casting them up, it will be found the 504 single is 630 in double; and again, the 701 round at hand, is in double 917 changes. The following is one at backstroke and at hand, on each plan of real double, for those whose inclination may lead them to practise it. The bringing this round (having the bobs all before), is in the same manner as plain, the same bob changes, but at a different number of the lead--see the scale, page 127. The same scale for bob changes as in Plain Cinques answers for this, as observed in Double Grandsire Caters, which see, and the s...
