WRITING REPETITIVE MOTION ... PART 1...

TWO OR MORE HAND POSITIONS
Some repetitive motion requires a changing hand position...Referring to
the attached diagram:

1. Repeated movement forward three times. There is no change in palm
facing. There is no change in handshape.

2. Repeated movement forward three times. The handshape changes three
times too...Each movement forward is ended with a closing of the
fingers. But the handshapes do not need to be written three times. They
are written once, in the center of the cluster of arrows, one before
the movement and one after the movement. It is ASSUMED that the change
of handshape occurs all three times...

3. The same as number 2, except now the movement is curved up and over
three times, and the finishing handshape is now pointing the fingers
downward.

....to be continued...
