content: This clear plastic model has two double triangular prisms, stacked one atop the other, perpendictularly. Alternately, it looks like a cube with four congruent triangular prisms half its height sliced out of it. The sides are eight small rectangles (in only two planes), four larger rectangles (in four planes), and six triangles (in three planes). A mark on the model reads: 683. Wheeler also called this model M42 anong the one-sided surfaces in his list of models.
