Ivan,

Seeing as you know what BTDC and ATDC mean, you're almost there...



The T is TDC (Top dead centre).

You are already 10 before TDC and you want to go more away from it.,   

thats to the left.

dont forget that each mark is two degrees.



Sorry I dint send this to you directly, but the new archive system loses   

the senders address???
