This document is some of the early work Buckminster Fuller sponsored and constitutes a method for creating reliable data for building geodesic models. However, the mathematical foundations on which this document is based is not evolved as that which exists today. This document represents very good documentation of the computer program used to create the geometry data for many of the domes built throught the 1970s. This document is not a simple or elegant treatment of building domes but a scientific divulgence of the math applied to creating the data necessary for designing domes.
