Geometric Model by A. Harry Wheeler, Line Perpendicular to a Plane
name: label: maker
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. This tan paper platform model shows the intersection of two perpendicular planes. Intersecting perpendiculars to the line of intersection are shown in both planes, as well as a line originating at the intersection of the perpendiculars and proceeding upward to the left. A mark on the model reads: Pat 1,192,483.
