Wheeler, Albert Harry

Description

This tan paper model is half of Wheeler's model 790. It consists of a cube dissected into four hinged six-sided figures, that fit in a paper box folded in the shape of a cube. Model MA.304723.326 is identical. The pieces of these two models can be combined to form a rhombic dodecahedron.
