Cheers Ken
Already done , i thought it would be better after reading the notes so went ahead and did it ; now preparing to be driven nuts.
I installed them with the middle leg bent forward to be in a 'y' as the one on the right in the picture here :

They are in the pcb horizontally with the screw to the left , bent middle leg upwards as per pcb outline for the single turn trimmer ,
(if that makes sense).

You could, if you realy wanted, but you will drive yourself nuts with the
number of times you need to turn the screw to make a change.
If they are the sort with the leads in a straight row, it doesn't matter
which way they are oriented. Mount them so they are the easiest to adjust.
The other sort with staggered legs will only go in one way.
