Hi Meg,
Years ago the cones were packed in vermiculite and in those days the
numbers were on the flat side indicating direction of bend.
Nowdays, they are packed in the foam and the numbers are on the side. The
direction of bend would be to the left with the number facing you.
have a good day,
maggie
