Well here's a favorite triplet:

Melanie's Triplet   Melanie Axel-Lute

A1 Lines of three fwd and back;  top couple lead down center and cast  
to second place
A2 Active couple (in center) turn contra corners
B1 All balance and swing partners; end facing up
B2 Top couple casts to bottom place, others follow single file enough  
to invert the set; dosido partner

Micah Smukler's Triplet # i has the end couples of the triplet  
turning contra corners (making use of imaginary friends). You can  
find it at
