The authors describe the topological structure of various linkages in \(E^n\). One object of study is an arbitrary subspace of configurations of points in \(E^n\) consisting of those configurations which correspond to the vertices of a (possibly singular) polygon with fixed side lengths. The homeomorphism type of this space (and others) depends on the lengths, but, as it is remarked, not their order. The possible homeomorphism types are made quite explicit. Other linkages studied, for example, allow one side to vary in length. Applications to robotics are discussed.
