before Interlocked Plenty		after Interlocked Little		after Split Circulate twice		after Outsides Counter Rotate 1/4 & Roll as Centers Concentric 1/2 Zoom (done)

Notes:

After doing the Split Circulates, if all Centers are facing Out they U-Turn Back (away from the Center of the Set) and Touch. If all Centers are facing In, they Touch. EN: 50
Historically, callers have called Interlocked Plenty from Twin Diamonds, in which case the Outsides were expected to 'go As You Are' (i.e., omit the 1/4 Right). This usage is typically frowned upon today. In our opinion, the caller should explicitly state something like 'Outsides go As You Are' or 'Centers Start A' so that the outsides do not start with a 1/4 Right. EN: 60
As with a normal Plenty [C1], callers often Replace the Split Circulates (historically known as turning the Stars) with another call or Interrupt the Split Circulates at various positions with other calls. EN: 70
