content: Wheeler, Albert Harry
notes: label: Description
content: To show relationships among planes and angles, A. H. Wheeler designed a series of what he called platform models. All of these had a rectangular platform, with other segments (often other rectangles) secured to it. These other pieces sometimes penetrated the platform. In this plastic model, a rectangular base supports two white plastic triangles. A smaller transparent rectangle is attached to the base and propped up by the triangles. A white White rectangular strip is across the bottom of this transparent rectangle.
