The Loop
Essentials


A loop is that type of fingerprint pattern in which one or more of the ridges enter on either side of the impression, recurve, touch or pass an imaginary line drawn from the delta to the core, and terminate or tend to terminate on or toward the same side of the impression from whence such ridge or ridges entered.

ESSENTIALS OF A LOOP

- A sufficient recurve.
- A delta
- A ridge count across a looping ridge.

A sufficient revurve may be defined as that part of a recurving ridge between the shoulders of a loop. It must be free of any appendages abutting upon the outside of the recurve at a right angle.

APPENDAGES-Some explanation is necessary of the importance attached to appendages.
