…I've seen the little 3 bell graphics in all the missals I've used and seen -- and that's quite a few, I should point out -- but never does it say when those 3 bells should be rung.…

"Never."

The rubrics for a low/high mass are 3 rings. The 1-3-1 is sometimes used at a solemn high mass, for added solemnity. Otherwise, it's probably an typical-french-sspx-influence where they use the 1-3-1 for low masses. The french influence in the sspx cannot be overstated and it shows itself both in liturgy and in theology. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

"Never." "Idiotic."

While Mark 79 shows hand missals that reference one "bell", I've often seen (in fact, I've only seen) altar boys with altar bells--three bells connected together!

Obviously, then, there are 15 bells being rung instead of five! Oh! The humanity!

I didn't think this would become a flash point, but I am reminded to never underestimate the likelihood of the oh-so-traditional circular firing squad. "Idiotic." "Never."
