Spiral Columns -- Two Types

There are two types of spirals -- both of which have twisted translation symmetry. There are the spirals that are symmetric when the column is rotated by $180^\circ$ in a plane containing the axis of the cylinder ( ${\bf Z}_2(\tau\kappa)\dot{+}{\bf L}$ )and those that do not have this symmetry (${\bf L}$ ). See Figures 8 and  9.
