Full-circle tower bell ringing in England developed in the early 17th century, when bell ringers found that swinging a bell through a much larger arc than that required for swing-chiming gave control over the time between successive strikes of the clapper. Ordinarily a bell will swing through a small arc only at a set speed governed by its size and shape in the nature of a simple pendulum, but by swinging through a larger arc approaching a full circle, control of the strike interval can be exercised by the ringer.

This culminated in the technique of full circle ringing, which enabled ringers to independently change the speeds of their individual bells accurately to combine in ringing different mathematical permutations, known as "changes". Speed control of a tower bell is exerted by the ringer only when each bell is mouth upwards and moving slowly near the balance point; this constraint and the intricate rope manipulation involved normally requires that each bell has its own ringer.

The tower bells involved range from a few hundredweight up to a few tons [a] and are most commonly associated with churches as a means of calling the congregation to worship. There are a few sets in secular buildings. However, smaller sets of bells, usually known as "mini-rings" have come recently into existence for training, demonstration or leisure purposes, with bells weighing just a few kilogrammes.

There are several variations of the means of exerting control of the bell by the ringers, but the fundamental principle of being able to control and alter the speed of the bell striking is common to all full circle techniques. The bell is attached to a headstock , historically made of wood but now more often steel. This has to withstand the dynamic force of the bell as it swings, up to three times its static weight.

At each end of the headstock are protruding trunnions or bearing pins which are located in bearings attached to the frame.

The frame itself is rigidly attached to the fabric of the tower. Within the bell is a clapper which consists of a solid shaft, wood, iron or steel a clapper ball wrought iron or steel and a flight. The size of the flight determines the rate at which the clapper swings, and therefore the point in time at which it strikes the bell.

Bells are normally left mouth down for safety. Before ringing, the bells are swung in increasing arcs until the bell is mouth uppermost. When the ringer desires to make a stroke, the bell is swung around a full circle, the clapper striking once. In English full-circle ringing there is no counter-balancing, so the bell accelerates rapidly to its maximum velocity when mouth downwards, and slows down as it rises to mouth upwards.

In Veronese full-circle ringing there is a large amount of counter-balancing, so there is little net gravitation pull and the bell accelerates slowly and rotates gracefully. The small out-of-balance weight makes it much easier than English bells to stop the bells mouth upwards. However, English full-circle ringing is capable of much better control of bell speed, as it is independent of the counter-balance effect.

The Bolognese style of bell hanging does not have any counter-balancing. In English full circle ringing " Mini-rings " are used to demonstrate how full-circle ringing on large bells works. These rings can be assembled quickly, but the bells are light and the ringing is fast. However, they demonstrate a difficult concept visually, as both the actions of the ringers and the bells can be seen simultaneously. The sound made by a bell rung full-circle has two unique subtle features: rapid strike decay and the doppler effect.

Because the clapper strikes the bell as it rising to the mouth upwards position, it rests against the bell's soundbow after the strike, and the peak strike intensity decays away quickly when the clapper helps to dissipate the vibration energy of the bell. This enables rapid successive strikes of multiple bells, such as in change ringing, without excessive overlap and consequent blurring of successive strikes. In addition, the movement of the bell imparts a doppler effect to the sound, as the strike occurs whilst the bell is still moving.

Both these effects give full circle ringing of bells in an accurate sequence a distinctive sound which cannot be simulated by stationary chimed bells. At party, Kate, who is hoster of the party, says to a drug dealer: You know, you're the type of badass that I was susceptible to in my youth. I used to make out with my Stretch Armstrong doll, so this is, like, a full circle moment for me.

Here's an example invented by me: The woman was so old that she needed a full-time carer. As a tiny child, she had needed someone to bathe, feed and dress her; now the same was true once more. She reflected that her life had come full circle. A full-circle moment is a point in time when you realise you are repeating some aspect of your past life.
