Wheeler, Albert Harry

Description

This paper model consists of a paper rhombic dodecahedron divided into six hinged square pyramids and a central cube. The pyramids can be rearranged to form a second cube the same size as the first. This is Wheeler's model 784. Compare the combined pieces of MA*304723.324 and 1979.0102.122 for a plastic version of this model. Also compare Wheeler's model 769 (MA.304723.292, MA.302723.301 and MA.304723.311).
