1668 Tintinnalogia (1671) 54 Whole-pulls, is to Ring two Rounds in one change..so that every time you pull down the bells at Sally, you make a new change.

1668 Tintinnalogia (1671) 134 But sometimes the fault of the stroke [i.e. when longer on one side than the other] is in the Sally.

1677 F. Stedman Campanalogia 26 The falling of the bells from a Sett-pull must gradually be done, by checking them only at Sally, until the low compass renders the Sally useless.

1688 R. Holme Acad. Armory iii. 462/2 The several wayes of Ringing Bells. 1. Is the Under Salley, that is when the Bells are raised but Frame high, so as the Clapper strikes on both sides of the Bell. 2. Is the Hand Salley, when they are rung almost up, and one hand is put to the Rope to raise it.

1702 J. D. & C. M. Campanalogia Improved 11 The first Step..is to learn perfectly to set a Bell,..and to have it so much at his Command, as that he may be able to cut it down, either at hand (being the Sally) or back Stroke.

1702 J. D. & C. M. Campanalogia Improved 13 He must likewise be careful, when they lie under Sally, (for so 'tis term'd) to keep his Bell at so constant a Pull, as not to pull harder one time than another.

1872 H. T. Ellacombe Church Bells Devon 13 (note) The half-wheel action is distinguished by the name of the dead-rope pull, there being no sally.

1872 H. T. Ellacombe Bells of Church x. 551 It was at this time that the bells were altered from the dead-rope pull to the sally.

1897 F. T. Jane Lordship vi. 66 The tuftin being worn, she hurt a man's hands a good deal on the sally, and had mainly to be rung on the back~stroke.

2. The woolly ‘grip’ for the hands near the lower end of a bell-rope, composed of tufts of wool woven into the rope.
