	Airport Carousels A-M
		Naples [ ]— counterclockwise; that is, when they move.
		Unfortunately, there is a shortage of benches on which to pass the resulting time, but at least the wait provides a soothing prelude to the decidedly non-dull Naples traffic.
		Arch adds that the carousel runs quite silently, and that there is another belt for oversize luggage, which is not a carousel, but many seem to spend a lot of time watching it.

	Encyclopedia: Clockwise and counterclockwise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Technically, the terms clockwise and counterclockwise can only be applied to a rotational motion once a side of the rotational plane is specified, from which the rotation is observed.
		For example, the daily rotation of the Earth is counterclockwise when viewed from the North Pole, and clockwise when viewed from the South Pole.
		Typically, screws and bolts are loosened (moved towards the observer) counterclockwise and tightened (moved away from the observer) clockwise, in accordance with the right-hand rule.

		In this conventional clockwise and counterclockwise circularly polarized wave receiving apparatus, the two circularly polarized wave signals are separated by means of only the hybrid coupler 13.
		Therefore it is the object of the present invention to provide a clockwise and counterclockwise circularly polarized wave common receiving apparatus for a low noise converter, in which the aggravation of the signal isolation characteristics at the input terminals of the clockwise and counterclockwise circularly polarized wave common receiving apparatus can be improved.
		According to the present invention as described above, an input probe is installed on each edge of the rectangular microstrip patch, and feed lines are connected to the pair of the clockwise and counterclockwise circularly polarized wave receiving probes commonly using two input probes which are installed in the adjacent edges of the patch.

		On the other hand, the opening lever 7 is turned counterclockwise resisting the bias of the spring 7d because the control portion 7a is pushed by the cam portion 3c, and activates the pin 8 to close the shutter blades which are in an open state.
		When the step motor 1 further rotates counterclockwise, the closing lever 10 is turned clockwise resisting the bias of the spring 10d because the control portion 10c is pushed by the cam portion 3d and activates the pin 11 to open the diaphragm blades which are in a closed state.
		When the motor M rotates counterclockwise corresponding to either signal of the balb mode or time mode, the stepped portion 3f retreats from the pin 10a and the closing lever 10 is rapidly turned by the spring 10d, closing the shutter blades and ending the exposure.

		Usually, when one pulls the plug in the bathroom sink the water tends to be moving either clockwise or counterclockwise.
		As the water moves toward the drain, the preexisting clockwise or counterclockwise motion is enhanced because of a law of physics that requires the circular motion to be maintained.
		However, if the water is perfectly still and there is no disturbance as the drain is opened, the water should tend to develop a counterclockwise flow pattern as it drains away in the northern hemisphere, and a clockwise pattern if it drains in the southern hemisphere.

	Language Log: Westward on the eastbound shuttle; or, what a long strange trip that would be
		The idea that you can distinguish a clockwise from a counter-clockwise circular loop by saying that one goes to the west and the other doesn't is more than just wrong, it's a screamingly obvious geometrical impossibility.
		John Cowan noted that "left" and "right" are conceptually linked with "counterclockwise" and "clockwise", respectively, and with "west" and "east", respectively.
		Most contemporary ceiling fans have a switch that toggles between clockwise and counterclockwise motion; the counterclockwise direction pushes air down (for getting a breeze in warmer months) and the clockwise direction draws air up (which in turn pushes the warmer air down in colder months).

	Clockwise vs Counterclockwise : Fool Moon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		I visualize a tall glass panel with a transparent clock on it, and the hands are moving quite rapidly in a clockwise direction.
		Clockwise or counter-clockwise depends on which side of the clock we are staring at, the hands are always making their sacred circle, we are the ones who impose the concept of "direction" on the motion, and we are the ones who associate qualities with the direction we perceive.
		Personally I would link clockwise (which only came into play as a concept once there were clocks, or was it sundials?) with righthandedness, dextrousity, "rightness".

		Professor Philippe Cluzel at the Materials Research Center at the University of Chicago, and his collaborators would offer a resounding "yes!" Their laboratories have recently demonstrated that the patterns of clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of an individual bacterial tail, over time, reflect changes in molecular environment.
		Counter-clockwise rotations of the tail cause the bacteria to swim in a straight line, whereas clockwise rotations of the tail causes it to "tumble" by initiating a change in direction.
		First, the fluctuations between clockwise and counterclockwise tail rotation is attributable to the chemical signalling network itself.

	The Straight Dope: Do bathtubs drain counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?
		The erroneous bit of folk wisdom you refer to says that water always drains in a clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere, and in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere.
		However, when you get down to itty-bitty phenomena such as the water draining out of your bathtub, the Coriolis effect is insignificant, amounting to roughly three ten-millionths of the force of gravity (in Boston, at least, which is where they happened to do the measuring).
		When the plug was pulled after four to five hours, the water started draining clockwise, then gradually slowed down and finally started swirling in the opposite direction.
