There are no "Notes" on this dance in the Manual.

TACNotes, p 57,  says:

9-16  1M & 2W pass RSh to begin reel.  1M finishes reel in middle, 
facing 2M, with his prtnr on his right.

17-24  Finish circle with 1M in his prtnr's place and 1W in the 
middle facing 2M

25-32  1W & 2M pass RSh to begin reel & all finish in own places. 

It is unfortunately true that "original texts" are not always clear 
enough.  The Manual and TACNotes often add useful information.  

Hope this helps,

Eric
