What each loop's constraint system is made of

For each mechanism: the order of the screw system its joints span, the order of the reciprocal system — the wrenches it carries without moving, which is always six minus the first — and what those wrenches are. A planar four-bar carries one force and two couples; a mechanism whose motion lies in no subgroup carries screws of finite pitch instead, and 2 of these 6 do.
