When Witham discovered on rollers, in 1880, thatthe figure could be skated on two edges, he misnamedit Bracket (r I). Continental skaters borrowed thefigure, but named it more properly Counter-three (Ger-man, Gegendreier, Swedish, bakvand trea) because therotation is counter to that of the regular , however, the four-edge Brace is seldom skated,and since the counter-rocking-turn is called Counter, forshort, the name Bracket is perhaps more serviceable thanCounter-three, as i
