Figure 7

Cross section of a cage edge showing the preferred orientations of the m^-vectors for maximum binding between the leg segments. The two proximal-proximal m^-vectors are antiparallel, as are the two distal-distal m^-vectors, whereas combinations of a proximal and a distal segment can yield both parallel and antiparallel m^-vectors depending on the segments involved.
