Work at a Bob or Single in Stedman Triples
A Bob and Single only affects you when in 45 Up or 67 Up & Down. A Bob at 67 creates a 'Flip' in the direction you go back in compared to a plain course. One or an odd number of Bobs cause you to go in quick or slow in the same way you came out. An Even number of flips mean you go in as you would normally in a Plain Course. (Which is the opposite of how you came out.) Calls in other places marked 'As Normal' don't cause this flip.

Calling Positions
The method diagram shows the calling positions in Green, as is standard practice these relate to the six block the number 7 bell ( As this bell is normally rung by the conductor ) is in when the call is made. Calls can be put in at any of these positions but it is usual for the conductor not to affect themselves. To avoid Odd Bobs, two adjacent calling positions that don't affect the conductor have collective names.
