Types of prints.
A print is not only made of a collection of lines but the all the lines together make a special figure. And there are not so very much different figures as you would presume.
Tentarch: Like the Arch but with a rising stick in the middle.
Loop: The lines coming from one site returning in the middle to the te same side
Double loop: Like the loop but with two loops inside, one standing one hanging
Pocked loop: Like the loop but with a small circle in the turning point
Whorl: The lines are making circles
Mixed figure: Composed with different figures

Photograph A was taken in a large disused warehouse which was frequented by vandals. Three suspects were arrested after a large blaze in the far end of the warehouse. Their defence was based upon a story that the fire began accidentally while they were skylarking. The photograph shows a wall approximately 50 meters from the main seat of fire where a second seat of fire was located. At the second seat of fire the smoke deposits on the wall which originated from the large seat of fire had burnt indicating there were two entirely unconnected seats of fire which burnt simultaneously. The defendant's story of an accidental fire could not be believed.
Photograph B shows the radiator hose from a car whose engine had erupted in fire while being driven through a small country shopping centre. The elderly occupants explained they had the car regularly serviced and drove to town only once a week. The unusual damage to the exterior of the hose could only have been made by a deliberate cut or by a gnawing animal. The burnt remains of a rat's nest comprising of snail shells, twigs, grass and rat droppings was found nearby on the heat shield above the exhaust manifold. The rats had chewed through the exterior of the hose and the interior sheathing then fractured as a result of pressure causing the engine to overheat and ignite the rat's nest. The photograph reveals the cause of the fire - a true "Clincher".
