1/4 and 3/4 Box

In your C1 & C2 S/D manual, I came across a reference to both a 1/4 & 3/4 box setup (triple cross pp196). These are formations which I cannot find explicitly described either in your text or any other, such as Clark Baker's S/D Handbook. Could you provide any source for these formations, and some reasoning as to their naming. Any info you can provide would be most appreciated.

These formations are (perhaps not well) described at the bottom of page 'x' and the top of page 'xi' in our C1/C2 book.

The name of these formations derives from a 1/4 Tag formation, the formation obtained from a Squared Set after Heads Pass The Ocean.

A 1/4 Tag is a Wave between Outside Couples Facing In.

A 3/4 Tag is a Wave between Outside Couples Facing Out.

A 1/4 Box is a Box between Outside Couples Facing In. (e.g., From a Squared Set after Heads Touch 1/4).

A 3/4 Box is a Box between Outside Couples Facing Out.

A 1/4 Line is a (Two-Faced) Line between Outside Couples Facing In. (e.g., From a Squared Set after Heads As Couples Touch 1/4).

A 3/4 Line is a (Two-Faced) Line between Outside Couples Facing Out.

And, a 1/4 Diamond is a Diamond between Outside Couples Facing In.

And so on, and so on...
