Direction of Movement - Directions of Turns

Directions of Turns

The direction of a turn is indicated in one of the following ways.

  • Clockwise (CW) vs. counterclockwise (CCW) turns.
  • Right vs. left turns.
  • Natural vs. reverse turns.
  • Inside vs. outside turns.

While the first two ways are fairly straightforward, the third one requires some explanation, and the fourth one is often a source of confusion.

Famous quotes containing the words directions and/or turns:

    The cannon thunders ... limbs fly in all directions ... one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice ... it’s Humanity in search of happiness.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
