Notes
[1]Frame Fr1 layout
Frame Fr1 layout is similar to Layout 6.1 with a row of 4 pits side by side (Pits A, B, C, D), with two more pits (Pits E, F) in the same orientation and all bells swinging in the same direction; the centre of Pit E is aligned with the truss between Pits A & B; the centre of Pit F aligned with the truss between Pits C & D.
