The treble treble bobs. The working bells all treble bob except that they do not dodge 1-2 unless with the treble and in 3-4 they make places (similar to Reverse Canterbury) if the treble is in 1-2. The bell which dodges 1-2 down with the treble alternately leads and makes seconds until the treble returns to the front when it dodges 1-2 up with the treble (this is referred to as "the front work").

There are two lots of 3-4 places down and two lots of 3-4 places up. The second 3-4 places down is immediately followed by the front work, which is then followed by the first 3-4 places up.

To decide whether you should make places or dodge in 3-4 simply see if the treble is below or above you. If it is below you make places, otherwise you dodge. If you dodge 3-4 down with the treble then the next time you are in 3-4 down will be the first 3-4 down places.

The bob affects the bells at the back. The bell making 3-4 places up makes an extra blow in 4ths and then makes 3-4 places down. The bells dodging in 5-6 make an extra two dodges. The bell making 3-4 places down and the bell dodging with the treble are not affected.

At a bob:
Blob the bell making 3-4 places up makes a total of 4 blows in 4ths and then 2 blows in 3rds and down - moving from second 3-4 places up to first 3-4 places down
Blob the bell dodging 5-6 down does a total of 3 dodges in 5-6 down and then dodges 3-4 down with the treble and repeats the previous lead
Blob the bell dodging 5-6 up does a total of 3 dodges in 5-6 up and then lies and dodges 5-6 down and repeats the previous lead

At a single:
Blob the bell making 3-4 places up makes a total of 4 blows in 4ths and then 2 blows in 3rds and down - moving from second 3-4 places up to first 3-4 places down (as at a bob)
Blob the bell dodging 5-6 down then makes 2 blows in 5ths and dodges 5-6 up with the same bell
Blob the bell dodging 5-6 up is unaffected - although it dodges 5-6 down with the same bell with which it dodged 5-6 up
