They should be geared together.

I have also heard this explained in different ways.

1. In the Start Up-- as in Picture 9-1-4 and 9-2-4

2. In the Start Down-- as in Picture 9-1-4, 8-7, and 9-2-7 (In these pictures the Right Hip still appears to still be turned BACK(I have heard this described as "Cleared.")

3. In the Downstroke-- as in picture 9-2-8 ( I have heard this picture described as Clearing a way for the right elbow.

I'm pretty sure there is some information out there on how Mr. Kelley taught this to students.

We should get some chimers on this one.
