In a paper by Mr Lyons and myself an elementary proof of the following theorem was given:

Given three lines a, b, c in space, if a′ is the line of shortest distance of b and c, b′ that of c and a, and c′ that of a and b; and if x is the line of shortest distance of a and a′, y that of b and b′, and z that of c and c′, then x, y, z have a common line of shortest distance.
