content: Wheeler, Albert Harry
notes: label: Description
content: This chain consists of thirty-six colorful plastic triangles sewn together in a row to form a long, skinny parallelogram (or a necklace). The triangle at one end has a hole in it, the triangle at the other end has a protrusion. Hence one can fasten the band without twists or with as many half-twists as desired.
