Figure 25. Twisted two-strip commencement, a, in dextral-bearing midrib strip (9), twisting commences at butt end so that leaflet 1 passes forward under strip attachment of leaflet 2 in front of it, and thus 2 under 3, 3 under 4, 4 under 5, and 5 will pass under 6. b, in sinistral-bearing strip, commencing from butt end on right, leaflets will successively pass under leaflets in front as shown numerically, c, sinistral-bearing strip (1) placed above dextral-bearing strip (2) and their leaflets …
