Notes
[1]Frame Fr1 Layout
Frame Fr1 layout is similar to Layout 3.3 except that Pit C is turned at right-angles making Pits B and C parallel. The gallows between Pits A and C are high so the bell in Pit A swings partly into pit B. The bottom end side of Pit C is also high. The transposition of bells to pits is A=>1; B=>3; C=>2 (from pictures taken by Kye Leaver).
