The Zigzag remembers the approaching of a besieged fortress: The sappers go never directly on the "capitale" of the bastion onto which they are digging, rather always in Zigzags (to avoid enfilading fire in their trench). I guess Napoleon, who was very profound in the art of fortress warfare, had this technology in mind ;-)

Following an obligatory upgrade of the forum imposed by the developers who maintain the website's programming (Wix.com), members can no longer make new posts, or reply to existing posts due to an error in transferring the data. We have referred the matter to Wix for investigation, and are awaiting a resolution. We apologise for the inconvenience.
