Index Entry

"I employ . . . the icosahedron and the rhombic dodecahedron in almost all the geometrical forms where one or another provides unique economic advantage. I use the rhombic dodecahedron as the hub of my octahedron-tetrahedron truss--the octet truss. Its twelve facets represent the planes perpendicular to the six fundamental degrees of freedom."
