In addition all the movements shown from figs. 9 to 15 are executed slowly, with the exception of the cover which is done fast. Finally you should look at 45° whilst performing the movements shown in figs. 11 to 15. This principle is maintained in the following similar movements i.e. figs 16 to 25 and 26 to 35).
