Notes:

  • Some callers believe that The Axle means do the last 3/4 of Pass The Axle [C1], hence they believe it is inappropriate to call The Axle from a Completed Double Pass Thru (since the Centers can not do the first part of the call).
  • Remember that Cross Cast Back [C1] is a Left-Shoulder Pass.

anything The Axle But Cast fraction [C1V]: Replace all Trade with a Cast Off fraction. You must then remember to do the final Centers Trade. If the fraction is 1/4 or 3/4, you will end in Back-to-Back Lines.
