Cloverleaf pattern

Many ranges seemed to operate a cloverleaf pattern when numerous aircraft are waiting their turn.

What is it and why did it work. Also anyone got a diagram of one?

Probably not relevant, but interesting:

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

I got lost in there somewhere!

I did find mention of a cloverleaf pattern for landing at an aerodrome (modern) but I'm not sure if it is the same as this was for using different runways. I would assume the pattern prevented mid-air collisions.
