L-188 Engine Start Callouts and Correct Order?

Hey folks,

I've been a lurker around these parts for a while, but never posted. I've been looking for information about the Electra start procedures on the net but have been having troubles. Particularly the crew callouts during start and the correct start/shift up order.

I know a few of the callouts:

"Button in"
"Rotation"
???
???
???
"7 for 8" (Starter cutout I think?)

But I'm looking for the full lists and the RPMs they're called at.

As well: what is the correct order? The procedure for the airline I work at is:

Start 4
Start 3
Wait for temps
Shift up 4
Ships power
Start 1
Start 2
Shift 3
Shift 2
Shift 1


However I saw a video online where they followed this procedure:
Start 1
Start 2
Shift 2
Start 4
Shift 4
Shift down 2
Start 3
Shift 3
Shift 2
Shift 1

Thanks guys
