β¦ Synopsis
A Steiner triple system of order u is called reverse if its automorphism group contains an involution fixing only one point. We show mat such a system exists if and only if u = 1,3, 9 or 19 (mod 24).

## Abstract We consider two wellβknown constructions for Steiner triple systems. The first construction is recursive and uses an STS(__v__) to produce a nonβresolvable STS(2__v__β+β1), for __v__ββ‘β1 (mod 6). The other construction is the Wilson construction that we specify to give a nonβresolvable
If X is a set whose elements are called points and A is a collectioxr of subsets of X (called lines) such that: (i) any two distinct points of X are contained in exactly one line, (ii) every line contains at least two points, we say that the pair (X, A) is a linear space. A Steiner triple system i
