3 couple longways set, proper


    A1  8 1s short cast to middle place, 2s moving up
          1s lead down through 3s & cast back to middle place
          1s set
    A2: 8 1s Short cast to 3rd pl
          Lead to the top
          Cast to middle pl
          2s Wait 8 counts Cast to 3rd pl
          3s Lead up to middle pl
             Cast back to bottom
             Lead to the top
    B1 8 Left diagonals, L-hand turn once
         Right diagonals, R-hand turn once ending :
         1s & 3s in a line of 4 facing up, 1s in middle (3rd man
         finishes his R-hand turn & moves straight out to the end
         of line on the men’s side); 2s facing up, standing below
         the line of 4
    B2 8 Line of 4 & 2s both lead up a double & fall back
         3s gate the 1s ¾ round into 2nd place while 2s turn 2-
         hands
         [[order is 3-1-2]] 
         

Notes: A2 is confusing as written in that it separates all the pieces by couple.

Another view of A2:  
1st 4 bars are egg-beaters for C1 and C3 at the bottom.(C1 cast while C3 lead, then C3 cast while C1 lead).

last 4 bars of A2:  C1 don't stop, but keep going in lead to top and cast to 2nd place, while C2 (at top) cast to bottom, C3 follow C1 to top.

             as 2nd couple cast to bottom of set
             and 3rd couple lead to top of set.
