Corner Chain

An online definition may be found here.

Bars: 8.

Corners Chain The 1s start in the middle facing 1st corners. 1s+1st corners turn half right (putting the 1st corners in the middle). 1st corners turn left all the way. 1st corners turn the 1s half right (putting the 1s in the middle). Then the 1s turn left once and a quarter to face 2nd corners.

Usually the 1s will then repeat the figure with the 2nd corners, and the 1s cross left to 2nd place own sides at the end.
