A brief history of tilts

The following article is a personal, and probably self-indulgent, review of the development of the classification of tilted octahedra in perovskite structures and my role in it. This review is not intended to be a thorough account of the topic, which has in any case been covered elsewhere, but is offered as a historical account of how the description of perovskite tilt systems in use today originally came about.
