Abstract

In this note the concept of planarity is briefly reviewed with the aim of suggesting a unified interpretation of this word as an attribute of the concept of kinematic chain. The lack of a correct and unambiguous meaning of the concept of planar kinematic chain may cause serious misunderstandings nowadays, as in the reported example.
