Patterns and Drawings Relating to Models for Spherical Trigonometry and Perpendicular Planes

American History Museum

Object Details

maker

Wheeler, Albert Harry

Description

1. two sheets with drawings for patterns and drawings of the assembled model. One sheet is marked: SUPPLEMENTARY TRIHEDRAL ANGLES (/) STRIA (1)*. The second sheet is marked: SUPPLEMENTARY TRIHEDRAL ANGLES (/) STRIA (2).
2. a sheet with drawings for patterns and drawing of assembled model. A mark reads: SYMMETRICAL TETRAHEDRAL ANGLES (/) STA*.
3. a sheet of drawings of pattern pieces and a sheet of patterns, both with a drawing of the assembled model. The sheets are unmarked but the model shown resembles platform model 1979.0102.268.
4. a sheet with drawings for patterns and drawing of an assembled model. The sheet is unmarked but the drawing resembles platform model MA.304723.053.
5. a sheet of drawings with an assembled model, along with a sheet of pattern pieces with drawing. The model appears to show three parallel planes cutting a line on a perpendicular plane.
6. a sheet of drawings of a platform model and its pieces, as well as pattern pieces (some pattern pieces metal). The sheets are unmarked, but the drawing resembles model 1979.0102.261.
7. a sheet with a drawing of a model of a plane perpendicular to another plane.
8. a sheet with drawings for a model of two intersecting planes perpendicular to a base plane. It is accompanied by a second sheet with pattern pieces and drawing for the same model. No marks.
9. a sheet with a drawing of a model and drawings of pattern pieces for it. It is marked: LINE AND ITS PROJECTIONS (/) L-PRO* Pat 1,192,483.
10. a sheet with a drawing of a model and drawings of pattern pieces for it. It is marked: Two Parallel Planes ansd (/) a Line Perpendicular 2 II PL-L.
