The first is labeling only one member without showing the mate. The second is calling a hand from an undefined viewing direction. The third is assuming that the direction of rotation automatically defines the hand. Keep those concepts separate: record the tooth orientation, show the viewing direction and then describe operating rotation as application information.<\/p>\n<p>When several photos are supplied, mark one as the reference view and label the gear and pinion consistently. A simple annotation on the photo is often more useful than a long email description.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ep-section\">\n<div class=\"ep-container\">\n<h2>Domande frequenti degli acquirenti<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ep-accordion\">\n<details>\n<summary>Can right- and left-hand gears be swapped?<\/summary>\n<p>Do not assume they can.
