Abstract

In this essay, we present our interpretation of the work of P. Tait and M. Haseman on achiral alternating knots. We have tried to elucidate the meaning of several concepts used by them such as: Amphicheirals, skew-amphicheirals, 1st or 2nd order, 1st or 2nd class, distorsions, etc. We also comment on some of their many pictures.
