The non-spherical appearance of globular clusters was first noted by Pease and Shapley (1917) and discussed in some detail by Shapley (1930) who analyzed cluster shapes determined from star counts made by Helen Sawyer on the Franklin-Adams star charts. This classic work has provided most of the data set used in all subsequent discussions of cluster shapes. A number of studies reporting cluster shapes have appeared in the years since we began this project, the most recent of which include Geyer, Hopp and Nelles (1983), Frenk and Fall (1982), and Kadla et al. (1976, 1977).
