Abstract
The question of observability of sign changes under 2pi rotations is considered. It is shown that in certain circumstances there are observable consequences of such sign changes in classical physics. A macroscopic experiment is proposed which could in principle detect the 4pi periodicity of rotations.

20 pages, 5 figures; In a new appendix the vanishing curvature and non-vanishing torsion are calculated explicitly for both the 3-sphere and the real projective space
