Dymaxion Airocean World Map:
"graphic fact that the spherical groes are doubly interwoven across their girths and triply interwoven at their ends.
"This system takes joint advantage of (1) the centrally satisfactory characteristic of the Mercator projection’s tropical area and (2) the azimuthal or gnomonic projection’s polar areas. It also combines the unit strip-diagram of the former with the inherently-separate circle diagrams of the latter into a universally joined synthesis of the preferable aspects of both.
"[T]his system thus accomplishes the synthesis of merit of equatorial and polar systems which the polyconic accomplishes in highly specialized and compromised manner, prohibiting universal synthesis in any direction. The 60°-arc triangle and square system accomplishes this long-desired synthesis of merit while reducing the unit limit of percentage of distortion growth below that of any unit world map projection system previously demonstrated.
“Despite the notion which had developed by custom of thought almost to the inflexible extent of becoming an assumed”
