The start of each Quarter and Half, and all OT periods were started with a JB administered by the R.
Now, I do not have access to my attic (Billy Mac and Junior know why) so I am unable to confirm with old Mechanics Manuals, but if my memory serves me correctly, as far as Two-Man Mechanics were concerned, the change from Left-Handed (Cadillac) Mechanics to what we use know know coincided with the adoption of the AP Arrow.
That said:
1) JBs at the Center Circle was administered by the T at the time of the JB.
2) JBs at the FT Circles were administered as follows:
a) FT Circle to the Right of the Table by the T.
b) FT Circle to Left of the Table by the Left.
I am going to take a pre-lunch nap now. Goodnight all.
