[C320-list] GFO Packing question

[Scott Westwood]

I tried to find comments about the 45 degree cut of the packing.  Seems to me perpendicular (as apposed to parallel to) the shaft is the way to go for compression.
If you overlook (look down) the length of the shaft you should see an angled cut.  Not a cut that is parallel to shaft?
Also want to have overlap slide in direction of turning nut.  Don't want nut to peel back packing.  Wish I could draw pic but have to get back to work.
Thoughts? 
Thanks,
