Extract

The solid which is the three-dimensional analogue of the plane quadrilateral appears to have been neglected by geometers, possibly on account of the difficulty of visualising it adequately from a plane figure. A model, however, makes an interesting object and is readily constructed from thin stiff wire and thread. The extraordinary number of collinearities, which are its principal feature, then become at once obvious. For the benefit of any one who wishes to construct such a model I would suggest the desirability of commencing with the external diagonal triangle PQR and the line P′Q′R′ (see Figs. 1 and 2), as otherwise it is difficult to get a compact model.
