There is an other Word which some may not well understand at the first
setting out, which is called _Controversion_; and this in Wheeling is
performed by the Front of the Squadron, so that whilst the Rank makes
the Motion, the File remains.


_Instructions for Wheeling, with the proper words of Command._

When the Word is given, _viz._ _To the Right by Conversion_, understand
that you must close your Right-leg to the Horse, your Knee touching that
of your Right-hand-mans, and in like manner observe in the Word of
Command to the Left; as when it is said, _Close to the Left_, then must
the Leg be Closed.

By half Ranks and Conversion, divide the Squadron into two _Troops_.

If you would reduce the Squadron, the Word of Command is.

_By Controversion_: The Squadron into one Troop, else the Left-wing
advance by Conversion.

When you Wheel by Carocol, observe the Word of Command as follows,

_The Right-wing to the Left by Carocol, Face about to the Rear_: Or it
may be done by half Ranks in this manner,

By Quarter Ranks, and by Carocol, divide the Squadron into three Troops.

Then if you would reduce them, order Quarter Ranks and Troops into
Squadrons.
