The Zigzag remembers the approaching of a besieged fortress: The sappers go never directly on the "capitale" of the bastion onto which they are digging, rather always in Zigzags (to avoid enfilading fire in their trench). I guess Napoleon, who was very profound in the art of fortress warfare, had this technology in mind ;-)
