This is a 3 By 1 Diamond (6 Centers)		Another 3 By 1 Diamond (2 Centers)

Note: The n By 1 Diamond concept is not well defined and seems to be limited to a specific set of calls. Some callers want the dancers in the Line of n to do their part as if the Line of n was Solid. Some callers want the dancers in the Line of n to do their part working Concentric. EN: 20
