Knife's Edge on the tester is on the right, but the video is taken through a little "scope" installed on the tester that rotates the image 180 degrees. Taking that into account I have to invert the location of the Knife's Edge to the left to accommodate the inverted image. I have a pronounced Turned Up Edge and a central "mound" with a "button". I originally thought it was a turned down edge, so I'm extremely glad it isn't... Need to do long strokes with mirror on top to correct the edge.
