Abstract
Polarization maps are presented for the three proto-planetary nebulae, Frosty Leo, MZ3 and M2-9. The structure of each object is discussed a nd geometries derived from these data are compared with those predicte d by the currently fashionable two wind hydrodynamical models which ac count for many of the features of such transient nebulae.
