notes: label: Description
content: This cut and glued model has a framework of twelve celluloid faces, each consisting of ten triangles. It also has twenty points, each surrounded by six paper irregular triangles. Each of these triangle fits into a small celluloid triange,to form a larger triangle, so that the model actually has 120 triangular faces. A printed paper tag reads: 427. A typed paper tag reads: 427 (/) IC. A pencil mark on another face reads: 355'. Another pencil mark reads: Sept-11-1932 (/) No. 427. Wheeler classified the model as an icosahedron.
