Uh...not here.  I'm must be missing something in your explanation, sort of
like the cartoon of the professor explaining the origin of life.  His
friends are pointing to one place on the board and saying "Can you expand a
bit on '...and then a miracle happens...?'"

One place I'm falling off the track is that it doesn't matter at all which
way everything turns -- what matters is which side of the outer race exerts
pressure (through the balls) on the opposite side of the inner race.  Or if
you're out at the wheel and not at the tranny, which side of the inner race
exerts pressure on which side of the outer race.
