Valve Rocker Setting

I found the order in which valve rockers are to be adjusted very confusing in both the Rootes Alpine Workshop Manual and a Clymer book I borrowed from somebody. They both use a two-column format without saying whether to read across or down. So, I made a little diagram to clear things up. There are two and a quarter cycles shown.
