Thank you again for your reply.

The 180 degree e-shaft rotation makes the Wankel engine too complex to
understand. It is the most misunderstood engine in the world. When it is
understood and the knowledge is put into practice. We will have a durable
powerful  high torque at low speed  fuel efficient engine.

I find that the illustrations show.

In #1 shaft 000 DEG

"A" is the end of the intake stroke and the beginning of the compression
stroke.
Note the open intake port during the compression stroke.

In #2 shaft 180 "B" is at the end of the expansion stroke and at the
beginning of the exhaust stroke.

In #3 shaft 360 deg  Other than showing different rotor surfaces the exact
same principles as #1 000 deg are shown.

In #4 shaft 540 deg Other than showing different rotor surfaces the exact
same principles as #1 000 deg are shown.

In #5 shaft 720 deg Other than showing different rotor surfaces the exact
same principles as #2 180 DEG deg are shown.

In #6 shaft 1080 deg Other than showing different rotor surfaces the exact
same principles as #1 000 deg are shown.

The illustrations fail to show the rotors position at the end of the exhaust
stroke simultaneously with the second third of the intake stroke.

The illustrations also fail to show the rotors position at the end of the
compression  stroke simultaneously with the beginning of the expansion
stroke.

The four illustrations I suggested only show one third of a rotor revolution
but the division of the strokes into one third portions is a wise option for
anyone wanting to understand the principles of the Wankel engine.

I am presently attempting to re build a 12A Rx7 engine to have less weight
and have 500 plus HP.

Well I am looking forward to your drawings.
