    I'm fiddle-farking my laptop right now, preference of a wallet sized card, maybe RH one side, LH on reverse. A Machinery's Handbook sized insert sounds good too, like a bookmark. Working with flow-chart style might as well been spaghetti....color coding comes to mind, even worse.
    Looking first to clarify readability with font, spacing and size combinations. So far, it's Calibri; the code letters in bold, one extra space and 2pt larger than text. But a screen shot works on anyone's phone, save Marv's candle-stick or hand crank phone; Hello Central?

    Hey Jon; how does one post a word file, from PC? This version isn't exactly as described above, editing in place.

    A - Threading tool upright, point toward lathe back
    B - Threading tool inverted, point toward lathe back
    C - Threading tool upright, point toward lathe front
    D - Threading tool inverted, point toward lathe front

    L - Direction of feed = Left
    R - Direction of feed = Right
    f - Forward Spindle Rotation
    r - Reverse Spindle Rotation

    To Cut Right Hand External Threads: L f (A/D) R r (B/C)
    To Cut Left Hand External Threads: L r (B/C) R f (A/D)
    To Cut Right Hand Internal Threads: L f (B/C) R r (A/D)
    To Cut Left Hand Internal Threads: L r (A/D) R f (B/C)

    To help visualize, this uses conventional toolpost in front position, OR rear position for "tool point toward front" descriptions
