English term or phrase: tail to tail
In a patent about magnetic sensing devices, description of arrows in a drawing as "head to head" and "tail to tail"

Here is the sentence:
As such, the domain walls illustrated by the head to head arrows, denoted as A, will propagate towards the bottom right corner corresponding to arm P3, whilst the domain walls illustrated by the ***tail to tail*** arrows, denoted as B, will propagate towards the top left corner corresponding to arm P1, thereby magnetising each track as it passes through.
