   To rotate the display you have to loosen the yoke and rotate it.
This is not as easy as it sounds. Different parts of the display
have different rotational alignment. I look at one part and think
its right then it looks wrong when I step back and see the whole
picture.  Or I get it right and it shifts when I tighten the yoke.
So I've trained myself to ignore slight errors in rotation.
