Abstract

Examples of bar and joint frameworks in the plane having unusual geometrical properties are presented. The first of them is a linkage with the varying number of degrees of freedom, depending on its position. The second is a geometrically stable hinged truss with all hinges lying on a straight line. The third one is an exotically unstable truss. Some questions concerning geometry of hinged trusses are stated.
