You have that backwards. It is the other way around. The right-hand thread tended to unscrew as the cylinder rotated counterclockwise, which would prevent the cylinder from being opened. Switching to the left-hand thread tended to tighten the ejector rod as the cylinder rotated, preventing the rod from unscrewing. The left-hand thread came AFTER the right-hand thread, not before.
