notes: label: Description
content: The underlying structure of this model is a regular octahedron with eight transparent green plastic sides. A paper five-sided polyhedron is attached to every corner of four of the sides (hence only four of the faces are not part of a face of the octahedron) . The paper figures are arranged so that two are at each vertext of the octahedron.. A mark reads: No 488 (/) IS 6. Another mark reads: Icosahedron (/) July 29 (/) 1935. Wheeler described the model as part of his subgroup icosahedra.
