(7 and 13 are the same figuresmade different ways, and with 14 and 15 are three curveelements, like the double-three, which was included in theoriginal five elements of the Austrian and Swedish school— the curve, serpentine, three, double-three,and loop.) Simple Rolls and EightsBy means of strokes from one foot to the other, theseelementary movements may be skated together in field fig-ures (quarter circles), rolls (half circles), or to place aseights (full circles). There are four ot each kind, begunon each of the four edges — of, if, ob, ib, — or fifty-six inall.* For examples, see page 29, Nos. I-7. The Ser-pentine, the Rocker, and the Counter-Eight, are usuallvskated in this countrv as two-lobe Eights, in Europe asthree-lobe Eights, thus:. 74 75 76 77 Serpentine Eights Rocker-Eights 79Counter-Eights *The torced curve is not a 1 independent element,— it isskated only in combination with the curve (rockers andcounters) or with itself (brackets ). 51 Combinations of Two Elements, on AlternateFeet Omitting Elements I and 2 as included in the others,each of the remaining thirteen elements may be combinednot only with itself, but with each of the others, makingone hundred and sixty-nine rolls, or eights, on each edge,or six hundred and seventy-six in all. For examples, seepage 29, Nos. 8-15 and 41-43. (Three hundred andtwenty-four of these are illustrated by diagrams in H5, p.
