Excerpt: ... chapter vi Eights--Qs--Reverse Qs. "vt ow that the edges, changes, turns, Mohawks, and- Choctaws have all been spoken of, there remain to consider (apart from Combined Skating) only the possible combinations of these, and their adaptation to the form of eights or modified eights, which in their simplest form, as has been mentioned, are complete circles of edges, outside or inside, skated on alternate feet, each of which starts from and again arrives at the centre.
