| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of folded paper octrahedra, whether cut or uncut,
single-sheet or modular. 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. This page is about the construction of polyhedra from regular starting shapes. Information about the construction of cut and fold icosahedra from irregular nets can be found here. ********** 1913 A method of obtaining an octahedron by cutting out an irregular template from a folded grid nof equilateral triangles appears in 'Trabajo Manual' by C Champy Alvear, which was published by Cabaut y Cia in Buenos Aires in 1913.
********** 1940 The same design also appears in 'El Plegado y Cartonaje en la Escuela Primaria' by Antonio M Luchia and Corina Luciani de Luchia, which was published by Editorial Kapelusz in Buenos Aires in 1940.
