A143487 "Fourth down, Extream [sic] between the two farthest Bells from it" in bell-ringing is a sequence of permutations p_1=(1,2,3,4), p_2=(1,2,4,3], .. which runs through all permutations of {1,2,3,4} with period 24; sequence gives number in position 4 of n-th permutation. +0

1,1

COMMENT

Start with (1,2,3,4), i.e. the first permutation of {1,2,3} followed by 4; then for each next permutation, transpose 4 one to the left; if at position 1, replace {1,2,3} recursively by the next permutation of these numbers. Thereafter, for each next permutation, transpose 4 to the right. And so on.
