Open Up The Column 之前		#1 Trail Off & Roll 同时 #2 Circulate & Peel Off & Roll 同时 #3 并做 #4 Circulate (Open Up But Nothing) 之后		Centers Cast Off 3/4 之后		Extend 之后 (完成)

Note: Open Up The Column is the same as Transfer The Column [A1] except that the First Two do a Trail & Peel movement instead of a Trail Off movement. There is a call (not currently in use) named Clover The Column in which the First Two do a Peel Off movement (1/2 Invert The Column and 1/4 In). We would like to see these 3 calls generalized so that we can do a Trail (Transfer) The Column, Trail & Peel (Open Up) The Column, Peel (Clover) The Column and Peel & Trail The Column. EN: 40
