Er, yes. If all windings are the same direction around the core, then the e=
ach winding will have the voltage 'in phase' when measured 'start' to 'fini=
sh'. If one winding is wound clockwise, and one wound anticlockwise, then t=
he voltage measured 'start' to 'finish' on one winding will be the opposite=
 phase to the other winding.

This purely a convenience of the physical winding. It is a lot easier to do=
 the 'triangular' method than the 'sawtooth' method, as the latter puts a s=
ideways force on the wire at each end of the winding that will tend to make=
 it hard to start the next layer. It also puts a lump under the next layer =
and if all layers have the lump at the same point then there is a physical =
discontinuity in the winding that may cause failure of the wire.
