Note, though, that the words as they appear in the quoted text may not be as they appear on a circular plate with different "positions" at which a dial, needle, or gauge may rest.
Like a circular volume switch, where the number "0" rests at the 7 o'clock position, and the number "10" rests at the 5 o'clock position; the dial turns clockwise from 0 to 10, but on a line, the 0 and 10 appear side-by-side. Make sense?
