I think your overcomplicating things a bit. To illustrate, loosely hold a piece of string on a table at both ends with one hand so that the ends are apart. With a finger from the other hand pick up the string somewhere off centre and pull it so that it's tight in both strands. With your finger you can describe an arc whilst still keeping both strands taut. The longer the sides, the bigger the arc.

I was game to try the technique this week on a session but the engineer wanted to use a C 24 instead - it was kind of hard to argue with!
