    In the meantime, I figured I'd try an /image search/ instead of   
    just a text search. What I found mostly showed that I probably   
    got it flipped the wrong way, and that the nuclei actually turn   
    /to the right/ up front. Below is my shot at drawing that kind   
    of diagram in ASCII art. Still, I have some doubts because it   
    looks like one illustration ("Parity_transformation.png" from   
    Wikipedia) shows the situation differently!   
      
    The majority of images looks like this if I understood them   
    correctly:
