How to Transform a Tube into a Tetrahedron | |||||||
This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of how to transform a tube (or envelope) into a
tetrahedron. Please contact me if you know any of this
information is incorrect or if you have any other
information that should be added. Thank you. ********** 1893 The earliest appearance of this design that I have been able to find is in L'Illustration 2643 of 21st October 1893. It was subsequently published in Volume 3 of 'La Science Amusante' by Tom Tit (real name Arthur Good), which was also published in 1893. ********** The effect also appears: 1918 As 'A Cylinder Transformed into a Pyramid' in 'Scientific Amusements' (an English translation of some of the material from volumes 2 and 3 of 'La Science Amusante' by Tom Tit) which was published by Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd in London in 1918. ********** 1966 In Vol 6: Issue 3 of 'The Origamian' for Autumn 1966 contained an article, 'A Scientist's Paperfold' about the tetrahedron made from a envelope. ********** |
