Search and rescue winch dialogue

Hi,

I'd be very grateful if anyone could take a minute to explain how the wording that's used during helicopter winching works. I've only heard fairly-unclear intercom recordings of it and it sounds like someone's saying things along the lines of "forward one and right...", etc. In some ways it's clear enough, forward one (one what?) and right (how far?), but I'm also not sure who's speaking - is it the guy at the top of the cable or the guy at the bottom?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,

P
