In Figure 4.3 “Orderly Tangles” p. 38 – “The manipulation yielding the third station has constructed a pleasingly high degree of symmetry. A plane of reflection symmetry passes perpendicular to the figure, and perpendicular to that plane is an axis of twofold rotational symmetry. As a mathematically necessary result of this combination of axis and plane, the figure has a center of inversion symmetry where the axis meets the plane. By various stretches of the imagination this station has received the name Candles in the United States, Chopsticks in Korea, Koto (a musical instrument) in Japan, and Mirror in Denmark.”
