Extensions of the well-poised and elliptic well-poised Bailey lemma

We establish a number of extensions of the well-poised Bailey lemma and elliptic well-poised Bailey lemma. As application we prove some new transformation formulae for basic and elliptic hypergeometric series, and embed some recent identities of Andrews, Berkovich and Spiridonov in a well-poised Bailey tree.Comment: 16 pages, AMS-LaTeX, to appear in Indag.
