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. In this model, the red pieces represent two intersecting planes while the turquoise pieces represent two parallel planed perpendicular to the line of intersection of the intersecting planes.
