 Bend or Cast A Quarter 

Definition:
 

Same as Cast Right and Cast Left which are on the Mainstream List.

 Illegitimate Chain 

Definition:
 

All arm turn partner by the left. Head ladies "chain" left, head men "chain" right (side men must "chain" left and side ladies must "chain" right). All arm turn the one they meet halfway by the left and all "chain" back home again to arm turn partners by the left. This time the head men chain left and the head girls chain right to arm turn the one they meet with a half left turn and all chain home again once more to arm turn partner by the left to take the next call. The chain is "illegitimate" because there is no courtesy turn after the right hand pull by--only a left arm turn halfway.

Jerry Helt and Madeleine Allen 1950's

 Sweep A Quarter 

Definition:
 

From facing pairs: Continuing in the direction of body flow established by a previous call (Flutter Wheel, Wheel and Deal, Recycle, Courtesy Turn) facing couples will circle another quarter to the left or right (without joining hands with opposite couple but retaining their own inside hand holds).

Jerry Helt 1971
