You'd have to be able to determine the rotation at all telegraph settings.

It's because the props are making more than one revolution per frame at high speed, so they appear to be going backwards. Same thing happens if you shine a strobe light at a fan and adjust the frequency of flashes.

And yes, both the shafts and props spin the wrong direction.
