epicycle gearbox

"Split Torque Epicyclic Helicopter Gearing
ivor the driver "

Sorry should have written this a couple of days ago.
I'm no engineer, as you can tell from my title, I was looking at the above link posted by ivor the driver a few days ago trying to understand how the 332 gearbox works. I coudn't help thinking that there's something wrong with the drawing, specifically the rotation.
The main shaft seems to be rotating against the rest of the gearing.. and comparing it against the rotation of an L2 the shaft in the drawing seems to rotate the wrong way??
