One thing that's a bit confusing is that the drawings show the linkage from the TT point of view, but most of the time we're looking at the hitch on the front of the TT where it's always mounted, the TV being usually elsewhere and we're free to rotate the TV end as desired to see the action. But that means we're seeing the action from the TV viewpoint. As a result, it's the narrower 'front' bar we can manipulate to see the action. Now in my feeble brain that shouldn't make a great deal of difference, but maybe it really does.

Believe it or not, both sides show identical angles between the front and rear bars.
