Abstract
An investigation has been made to find whether galaxies located in poo r clusters show an alignment with the parent cluster position angle. I t is shown that the position angle of a supergiant galaxy located in p oor cluster tend to be aligned with the position angle of the parent s tructure. The second brightest galaxy does not exhibit this alignment.
