At one time the words "widdershins" and "soleil" were used - BC (before

What happened to deasil?
Spell Checker corrected it to "diesel".
In that context, deiseil (Scottish Gaeilic - clockwise/sunwise -
contrary to "widdershins") would seem to be the proper way to put it.
Did you mean "diesel" (the petroleum distillate) ? but this has nothing
to do here !
And neither of those terms have anything to do with IBM Mainframe ;)
(except IBM Mainframes always seem to be going counter-clockwise - but
eventually reaching 12 O'clock position every 12 hours).
