"... on a chief invected ..."

For "invected" versus "engrailed", the mnemonic I use is "engrailed"
is based on "grail", meaning a cup, and to be a cup versus a cup
upside down, the points have to be towards the "more important
directions", as it were.  For per fess, as in the other design,
<http://eldwin.loveshade.org/images/ms_device6.jpg>, the points of
engrailed go up.  For per pale, towards dexter.  For a peripheral
charge like a chief, the points point towards the center.

And I think of invected as "opposite of engrailed".

Of course it's not a good mnemonic -- I'd love a better one -- but it
works OK for me.
