Conclusions:
	We have a confirmation of the Moll Peatley instruction of "half turn" as an alternative to arming, though it still has to fill the same amount of time.  Considering that you do it twice, perhaps this is a "switch sides" maneuver?
	Or is it a "take arms, switch places, take other arm, switch back"?
	Also of vast interest is the "for 6 or 8" instruction, marking a far more flexible framework for these dances than the ones in Playford in general.  The only real limitation to the number of people here is how fast they can do the hey, given the actual time allowed in the music.
Music:	The structure of the music could either be an AABB verse-done-twice, chorus-done-twice format, in which case, there might well be 5 measures to the B part, giving the various heys a full 4 measure count (possibly vital when trying to complete a 4-person hey) if the setting is really supposed to be without the turning.
	However, some investigation subsequent to my first reconstruction of this dance has revealed a more or less logical link between this dance and the Playford dance "The Merry, Merry Milkmaids" which provides music that works well, and irons out some of the questions about the chorus structure.
	The two dances are not any more similar than any other ECD with a standard verse structure split by sets and turns, but there is a ballad link between the Milking Pail tune and the tune for The (Merry) Milkmaids which means we have a structure to fit the dance into, instead of a bucket full of questions.
