Notes

[1]Description of frame

Similar to layout 3.3 except that pit C is turned 90 degrees, making B and C parallel. The gallows between pits A and C are high so the bell in pit A partly swings into pit B. The bottom end side of pit C is also high. The transposition of bells to ABC is 1,3,2. (From pictures taken by Kye Leaver.)
