The plan of Shakespeare's Stratford at least is preserved, for the road crossing Clopton's bridge is an ancient highway, and forks in the midst of the town into three great branches, about which the village grew up. The high cross no longer stands at the marketplace where these roads converged.
Of this operation, and of the forks and rakes and the haymaking there is a very good account.
If the two forks have the same frequency, it is easily seen that the figure will be an ellipse (including as limiting cases, depending on relative amplitude and phase, a circle and a straight line).
Let the forks be numbered o, I, 2,.
Normally, inverted forks are much heavier than conventional forks.
