Abstract: For each $v$, $k$ and $m$ such that $v\geq k\geq 2m+2\geq 8$, we construct a periodically-cyclic Gale $2m$-polytope with $v$ vertices and the period $k$. For such a polytope, there is a complete description of each of its facets based upon a labelling (total ordering) of the vertices so that every subset of $k$ successive vertices generates a cyclic $2m$-polytope.
