a) If, for example, the cross equipollé is displayed on a banner of arms or on only a section
of those arms, two or more of the squares will become rectangles.
b) A cross quarter-pierced need not (although it can) be formed by
an equipollé of nine, and we suggest that a suitable glossary or dictionary of
heraldry be consulted if further details are required.
