�this chain, in which it is specially noteworthy that on account
i of the fixing of the organ T we have a chain of
three links only instead of four. Its complete formula runs
��c <+ R, T ...... v. Pi P-"... j_ ... c-.
In contracted form this would be (C'R^ The chain is used here and there, placed both upon c and upon d.
A common pulley-tackle is an unconstrained closed chain, or at least is constrained only by force-closure ; here therefore we need not consider it. If it be made complete by pair-closure, it becomes (as we saw also in 43, with the simplified roller arrangement) a compound chain. The oases thus obtained are very interesting

applications of tension-organs.
