Special configurations of horizontal and vertical bending magnets can rotate the spin vector from the vertical to the longitudinal direction. The compact and tunable LEP spin rotator discovered recently fits neatly into the list of such configurations that generate a group of 24 rotation operators. It is shown that any of these configurations can be achieved with a string of 8 simple dipoles. Results can, in principle, be applied to electron or proton beams. 3 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
