Geometric Model by A. Harry Wheeler, Two Parallel Planes Cut by 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. These other pieces sometimes penetrated the platform.
