I've heard of model freight cars being built with their brake rods, pipes,
valves, cylindres, &c mirror-reversed because professional mechanical drawings
are usually done as looking down from above, while modellers turn their cars
upside down to install the brake rigging.
Likewise, when installing the NASG-specified wiring on a module, one can get
confused. When we wrote the specifications and drew the diagrams, we drew as
if looking down thru a glass-top module, and we said so But you have to
reverse everything when you actually turn the module over and start wiring and
soldering.
A friend took the time to re-draw everything in the NASG specs for module
wiring, so he wouldn't have to reverse everything in his head. It occured to
me that my printer/copy machine might be able to do this, and I pushed its
"Special Features" button several times and eventually came to "Mirror."
Check your printer / copier. If yours doesn't have this feature, there are
still your fellow club members, your local print shop; and maybe in my spare
time I'll put in the files section of the "NASG members" Yahoo group a PDF of
the basic NASG module wiring diagram, mirror-reversed. When you make one of
the mirror image diagrams, of course, you want to immediately label it
UNDERSIDE or REVERSE image, or something similar.
