Lockit
What formation do you expect when "centers lockit" (Or fan the top or spin the top) is called from parallel diamonds? A dogbone" or an "H"? Thanks in advance for your reply.

I expect a "dogbone", not an "H".

The reason is that from Twin Diamonds, the ends (points) are considered to be Ends of Lines, and when a shape-changing call is directed to the centers, "square breathing" causes the Ends to laterally slide toward or away from the center.

From Twin Diamonds, if the Centers do a Lockit, the Ends slide away from the center, but remain close to each other (in Tandem) as if they were Ends of Lines. This results in the "dogbone" formation.
