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 paper model, two parallel rectangles are held apart by two intersecting rectangles. The line of intersection of the intersecting rectangles is perpendicular to the parallel rectangles.
