This paper aims to provide a practical demonstration of a RIME-based approach to calibration, via an example of extremely high-dynamic range calibration of WSRT observations of 3C 147 at 21 cm, with full treatment of DDEs.\n  A version of the RIME incorporating differential gains has been implemented in MeqTrees, and applied to the 3C 147 data.
