But I have to amuse myself with putting it together so as to make a [F?] prism of it and trying for those lateral pair of interfering forces seen with a li prism and [B?] due to the R and L circular light using an analysis of course. I got them all right, but I find the li prism is unnecessary to show interference when [arrow] and [arrow] says for the [F?] prism."
