The McLaughlin sporadic simple group McL is the flag-transitive automorphism group of a Petersen-type geometry g=g(McL) with the diagram where the edge in the middle indicates the geometry of vertices and edges of the Petersen graph. The elements corresponding to the nodes from the left to the right...
