In the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Ser. 2, Vol. 20 (1921), pp. 465–489, Professor H. W. Turnbull has studied the projective invariant theory of three quadrics. The following paper is based on this work and develops one definite section of the theory. From the geometrical point of view the linear complex is now seen to be fundamental in the study of three arbitrary quadrics; particularly when their (2, 2, 2) invariant φ123 vanishes.
