A closely spaced pair of nonsymmetrically opposing rectangular poles is reduced to a combination of opposing corners; the mutual forces between the poles can then be written in terms of the simple direct formulas obtained for the two-corner problem. The results obtained involve only elementary functions and do not require implicit solution of nonalgebraic equations.
