I can't see a problem, with determining the way the numbers go. Whichever number is on the end, start there and move on to the next = number, then you change gauges. i.e. If 13 is at the right hand set of pins it starts there. You will = find that when you get to the #19 or #20 it will be in from the first = set of the thicker gauge. Conversely, if the #19 is at the first set of = pins, on the left. (Mind you left and right can be reversed, if it is on = a grand, or tilted.) Then obviously, you start your count from there. I have found no exceptions, to this. John M.
