Practice issue. Never allow anyone to broker the architect to the client. For example, an Australian that's been around the client about a month calls up and says, "What have you been doing on the client's job? Tell me, and I'll tell the client."
Architect should say "Nothing doing," and contact client directly, not through broker, ending professional relationship at this point, if necessary. Broker will always find architect wrong.

CATENARY (from Lat. catena, a chain), in mathematics, the curve assumed by a uniform chain or string hanging freely between two supports. It was investigated by Galileo, who erroneously determined it to be a parabola; Jungius detected Galileo’s error, but the true form was not discovered until 1691, when James Bernoulli published it as a problem in the Ada Erudiorum. Bernoulli also considered the cases when (I) the chain was of variable density, (2) extensible, (3) acted upon at each point by a force directed to a fixed centre. These curves attracted much attention and were discussed by John Bernoulli, Leibnitz, Huygens, David Gregory and others.
