[CW] Simple Question

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

The Vibroplex Company USED to make left handed bugs, but they no longer do.

You might find a left handed Vibroplex on eBay, with the large knob on the
right, and the flat paddle on the left (and the pendulum mechanism on the
right side) on www.ebay.com but be careful and watch the pictures as often
the seller doesn't know that the bug is a left handed version.

Keyer paddle levers - like the iambic - can be wired left or right handed,
but a bug must be specially made for left handed use.

Hello to all..
I  would like to ask a this simple question:

In the Vibroplex bug, the round knob is the dot and the oval is the dash?

I'm contemplating in trying the blue racer but the iambic I'm using
I have the dot set on the thumb piece and the dash on the index finger
piece.

I'm left handed you see, and use the keyer with my right hand and write
with the left.
Occasionally I use the straight key with the left but can't with the
right. Yep,
I'm screwed up, the result of them trying to make me bright ..err write
with the right..

Sorry for such a silly question but could not discern it from the
Vibroplex .pdf
