Louise --
"Caller's Box" has separate entries for gate and hand cast, but hand cast
says "Very similar to a gate" and the gate entry says "Very similar to hand
cast." So you're not alone.
The caller's box gate description is ":Two people face the same direction, hold
nearest hands, and pivot around the central point. One person backs up while the other
person walks forwards."
(I think of a hand cast as bringing one of the people around (usually 3/4) while the other
is more of a post, and a gate as more mutual, with each side traversing the same distance,
but I don't know if that's universal.)

Re: Amy’s question about a gate:
Is a gate the same as a hand cast to anyone except me?
Jerome: let me know how it goes!
