We generalise the approximation theory described in Mahier's paper “Perfect Systems” to linked simultaneous approximations and prove the existence of nonsingular approximation and of transfer matrices by generalising Coates' normality zig-zag theorem. The theory sketched here may have application to constructions important in the theory of diophantine approximation.
