When we went down to NJ for a week of training, and also when a machine tech
stopped in once, we were told 15 degrees, might be off but we watched to see
how far it was turned. Best I can figure without a protractor-if the needle
'straight' is a clock, and you are looking at 6:00-so the eye of the needle
would end up pointing at 5 pm...make sense? but it works-stops most of the
thread breaks.
