ab: Summary: We present a way to build deployable assemblies using the Myard
    linkage, a three-dimensional five-bar overconstrained linkage. A family
    of mobile assemblies of Myard linkages with mobility one have been
    developed. The characteristics of the assemblies have been analysed.
    The result shows that they can be used as large scale deployable
    structures which deploy to a planar configuration and fold to a compact
    bundle.
