Definition:

ID: 814: Shortened version of Windmill Chain or Flying Chain. Wind the Chain One Quarter means man star promenades with his partner 3/4 around, chains her out at the side and moves to the next girl. At this point, the girl chaining into the center does a Star Thru with the inside man. With a slight amount of fudging, the move finishes in eight chain thru formation. Wind the Chain One Half would have the actives star promenade 3/4, chain out at the side, pick up the next girl, take her across and chain her out and move to the next girl. Here again, do a Star Thru into eight chain thru formation. (Outside men courtesy turn the girls chaining out).; Clarence Watson and Claud McComas 1971
