before Outlet		after

Notes:

The Very Centers work with the adjacent Ends (of the Center 4) in the direction toward which that End is facing. EN: 40
Outlet can also be described as the End of the Center Line, holding onto the adjacent dancer, Veer Inward (to form Columns); all Split Recycle. EN: 50
Be careful: Outlet and All 8 Recycle [C1] feel very much alike. A common dancer mistake is to do one for the other. EN: 60
We believe that the caller must use the term Mirror Outlet or Left Outlet when the Centers are in a L-H setup and the outsides are both facing in. Some callers simply call Outlet from this setup and expect the Outsides to work Mirror. EN: 70
