In English-style ringing, the bell is rung up such that the clapper is resting on the lower edge of the bell when the bell is on the stay. During each swing, the clapper travels faster than the bell, eventually striking the soundbow and making the bell sound. The bell speaks roughly when horizontal as it rises, thus projecting the sound outwards. The clapper rebounds very slightly, allowing the bell to ring.

Typically, the rope's length is such that it falls close to or on to the floor of the ringing chamber. About from the floor, the rope has a woolen grip called the sally (usually around long) while the lower end of the rope is doubled over to form an easily held tail-end. Unattended bells are normally left hanging in the normal ("down") position, but prior to being rung, the bells are rung up. In the down position, the bells are safe if a person touches them or pulls a rope.
|
|
The ringer keeps hold of the tail-end of the rope to control the bell. After a controlled pause with the bell, on or close to its balancing point, the ringer rings the backstroke by pulling the tail-end, causing the bell to swing back towards its starting position. As the sally rises, the ringer catches it to pause the bell at its balance position. In English-style ringing the bell is rung up such that the clapper is resting on the lower edge of the bell when the bell is on the stay.

Both the sub-man and the serious man refuse to recognize that they are free, in the sense of being able to choose their own values. Several other types recognize their freedom, but misuse it.

Shoppers would earn stamps at the time their orders were rung up based on the total retail dollar spent at the grocery. These stamps were then pasted into booklets, which, when "completed" (filled), were taken to a local May Company store, where they were redeemed for $3 vouchers towards May Company merchandise. Employees of Pick-N- Pay worked under a union contract, like those of most other major Cleveland area grocers. While still under Cook United's ownership, the stores were often paired in shopping centers with Cook's and Uncle Bill's, discount department stores which were owned and operated by that company.

If correct, the contestant would have a maximum of eight questions to answer, being forced to bet at least half of what they had at that particular point in the game.

An investigation by the Commerce Commission revealed numerous instances where Foodtown Supermarkets had products on its shelves that were different when they were rung up at checkout, although in most cases, the prices were changed at checkout when they were notified of these anomalies. As a result, the Commerce Commission filed criminal charges under section 13(g) of the Fair Trading Act. Foodtown defended the charges by claiming that under the law a price on a shelf is merely an invitation to treat, and not a formal offer of sale, which the retailer in Fisher v Bell [1961] 1 QB 394 successfully pleaded in court. Foodtown was convicted, and they appealed.

Egypt in the 1870s was under foreign influence, corruption, misgovernment, and in a state of financial ruin. Huge debts rung up by its ruler Ismaʻil Pasha could no longer be repaid and under pressure from the European banks that held the debt, the country's finances were being controlled by representatives of France and Britain. When Ismaʻil tried to rouse the Egyptian people against this foreign intervention, he was deposed by the British and replaced by his more pliable son Tewfik Pasha. The upper ranks of the civil service, the army, and the business world had become dominated by Europeans, who were paid more than native Egyptians.

Davis, in office since 1971, had rung up a string of electoral victories by pursuing a moderate agenda and relying on the skill of the Big Blue Machine team of advisors. Davis, who remained generally popular throughout his term in office, would unveil a surprise legacy project: Full funding for Ontario's separate Catholic school system, which would become known as Bill 30. This decision was supported by both other parties, but was generally unpopular, especially in the Tory base.

Register tapes in the store's records showed that a purchase price corresponding to ten packets of castor beans had been rung up on either September 20 or 22.

Chanfrau as Mose, 1848 In 1848, Baker had a benefit at Mitchell's Olympic and asked Chanfrau to do his part from A Glance at New York in the afterpiece. Brown relates that "Mitchell used to tell how he went on the stage that night just before the curtain was rung up, and seeing Chanfrau at the back, dressed for his part, was on the point of ordering him off, supposing he was one of the 'Centre Market loafers.'" When Chanfrau took the stage, the audience greeted him with silence. The play was an immense hit, and Baker, Chanfrau, and Mitchell changed the name to New York as It Is and rewrote it to focus on Mose.
