[1]Frame description
Frame Fr1 Resultant Layout is 8.3 but with only three pits across the middle rather than four. Frame Fr1.1 Layout is two pits end-to-end. Frame Fr1.2 Layout is two pits end-to-end.
The middle 3.1: This houses bells 1&4. These are composed of 3 types: 5.B, 5.L, and 5.U. There is however an issue with this tho! The most eastern truss is completely 5.B. Moving west, the next one is a combination of 5.B and 5.U, and then the remaining 2 are a combination of 5.B and 5.L. The only other issue is that this frame has been modified so that there is only half of each truss.
The Northern 2.X2: This houses bells 5&6. This is a lot simpler! It is only 6.D
The Southern 2.X2: This houses bells 2&3. It is made of 5.A.
