Doc, I am not certain why one would believe a control labeled "WIDTH" would not increase the width as you moved it clockwise. OTOH, if it were labeled "SELECTIVITY", I would expect it to narrow the passband as it is rotated clockwise.
While mine is one ham's interpretation. I did not have the problem because I always thought of it as WIDTH. The graphic above the knob helps. 73, Don W3FPR D. R.
