        How universal is the right-hand rule for controls and displays?
By universal, I mean on an international scope.


        For those not familiar with the right-hand rule, it is that
increasing or positive is always to the right, up or in a clockwise
direction, eg. tightening screws, increasing temperature on a thermometer,
increasing decibel readings on a meter, etc.....


Thanks,

George
