Yes – ring flip, chair flip, same thing.

“Down” means dash and “Up” means wedge.

It’s possible for groups that are ‘up’ (wedged) to be axial *or* equatorial. Likewise, groups that are down can also be axial *or* equatorial.

Or does it depend, like axial up & equatorial up means out of paper (wedge), and axial down & equatorial down means into paper (dash)? Thanks :-)
