Default Inverted Swastika

Hi Alex

I humbly beg to differ and question your reference on the swastika. For some obscure reason a while ago I researched the swastika on the net and found numerous sites. The majority of the sites stated that the swastika legs were clockwise apart from either the Hindu or Bhudist one which was anti-clockwise. The only site mentioning the bastardisation of the swastika by Hitler was the one you quoted. It is an interesting subject but one not many visit due to the Nazi connotations. It was always held as a symbol of good luck or fortune apart from the one version I mentioned earlier with the eastern religions. If I wasn't so lazy I'd look to see which one it was, but if you are interested, surf the net and look at all the sites.

Anyway I agree, lets stick to CMPs. And as for the weather - eat your heart out.

By the way, did you see my post requesting info on a Coventry Climax powered Genset. You are attributed to possessing every manual known to mankind, do you have this one?

Bob
