[ANSTHRLD] Gyronny precedents

[Doug Bell]

There don't seem to be any rulings against gyronny issuant from the edge of
a field.  Try it and see if it passes.  I have no evidence on this type of
design for period style.

In referring to an "off-center" gyronny in [a] return ... in February, 1982,
Master Wilhelm noted "this sort of division is not heraldic". Whilst this
referred to a gyronny of two colours, the general principle holds true.
(LoAR 26 Oct 86, pp. 9-10)

Gyronny from any point other than the center of a field or charge is
definitely an anomaly, that is the reason that the visual complexity added
by the use of colours has been limited (nowhere was it ever claimed that
gyronny from the edge per se is "banned").... We are still of the opinion
that the use of gyronny from the edge on charges is extremely poor style.
