Abstract
Let K(X, Y) denote the bipartite framework in the plane that realizes the c omplete bipartite graph K-m,K-n with partite sets X, Y; \X \ = m, \Y \ = n. We show that for m greater than or equal to 3, n greater than or equal to 5, K(X, Y) admits a continuous deformation if and only if X lies on a line l and Y lies on a line perpendicular to l.
