Yes...that is what I figured. The symbol is not in the IMWA, so you  
did the best you could...we can add a third circle to the make-shift  
spiral for now...but later there will be a spiral symbol for that  
movement in the IMWA...writing by hand it is so easy!

It is a little like the spiral for Goldilock's curly hair, except  
that symbol is flat with the Front Wall Plane...

but the spiral you were writing is forward and back as it moves up... 
(it reminds me of writing ice skating circles...we have a symbol when  
writing ice skating that looks a little like this for the whole body  
turning swiftly around a central axis....)


Want to make this change yourself to your document? Then I can  
prepare the PDF...

Thanks again for the literature!
