February 15, 2000 Stefan and everyone - Rotation symbols are built on a central line that acts as an "axis", and then the arrows revolve or rotate around that axis... Attached is a diagram showing that a single-lined axis shows the forearm parallel with the floor...the arrows themselves are double-stemmed ...in other words...the axis (the forearm) is parallel with the floor, but the movement itself paints a path that is parallel with the wall....imagine if you put black paint on your thumb or baby finger...what path would it draw in space, while the forearm stays in one place and the arm rotates? | |||||
