This tech area popped onto our radar partially vis-à-vis flapping, and, oddly, how often simple hinges may not be applicable to flapping. Hinges are to be seen partially as in contrast to cardans, for instance, or the ball-and-socket, in that these elements offer the capacity of swiveling, or of offering movement relative to more than one axis.
