Welcome to the fool/tool of the month club. I am getting a left-handed carburetor fastening-nut spanner with a 60 degree right-hand twist and elevation next month. It is extremely useful for pressurized carburetors of 1974 to 1992 Elan short tracks, 1923 to 1938 Duesenberg Carbs, Wolkswagen 411 fuel injector distributor mounts 1972 to 1980, Panhard balljoint clamps, Tundra Long track slider spring flanges 1993 to 1999, and left wing transverse engine mounts for Dash-7 J-8's.

Thus, an object moving above the earth in a generally northerly or southerly direction, and with a constant velocity relative to space, will be deflected in relation to the rotation of the earth. This deflection is clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. The effect is named after the French physicist Gaspard de Coriolis, who first analyzed the phenomenon mathematically. Coriolis forces are of considerable importance in determining prevailing winds and ocean currents and also in the analysis of the flight paths of very long range projectiles such as artillery, missiles, and rockets. However, the effect is generally only noticeable at extreme ranges beyond normal small arms fire but it does need to be taken into account for long range artillery and missile fire. The amount of its effect depends on the north/south latitude at the firing point. As examples see the tables below for the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO (typical small arms projectile) and the 95 pound M107, 155 mm 95 pound howitzer projectile at its maximum range.
