halacha - What does a kefula look like?


I've seen discussion of the need to check matzah for kefulos--particular types of folds (Mishnah Berurah 461:35)--before Pesach. However, I'm having trouble finding a good guide to what a kefula in matzah actually looks like.


Could someone please provide a picture, or else a clear discussion, of which types of folds are kefulos and which are not? What would a kefula look like--in machine-made matzah? In handmade matzah?


Separately, is there any reason to suppose that certain hechshers nowadays might obviate the need for this checking?
