    Good introduction to layout
    Highlighting the importance of the water spider was a nice touch.

    One comment regarding the counterclockwise movement: To my understanding, the movement direction is related to the fact that most people are right-handed. For a right-handed person, it is easier to place items to machines when the direction is counterclockwise.
