'Twenty-Foot Earth Globe and 200-Foot Celestial Sphere:
“Our triangular geodesics transformation projection would show all of these four dissimilar systems in the flat plane in exactly the same manner and in exact register with that of the Earth alone as shown later in the icosahedral flat-out of the world map, but with a number (or numbers of different styles) shown at each grid vertex, which number indicates the radius distance of that vertex outwardly from the center point of the system ‘Earth.’ Four different colors: blue for the celestial, black for the whale, green for the crocodile, and brown for the 20-foot Earth globe, would identify the relative radius distances outwardly from the congruent systems’ center which occurs at each vertex of these four utterly differently shaped and sized systems-- all on the same map. This would provide all of the data necessary to reconstruct each of the four systems in exactly the same relative sizes. Every point in the four systems remains in exact perpendicular (zenith) whether in the spherical or planar flat-out phase or any interim transitional phase. This makes possible the design of an airplane or an ocean liner all on one map. And the flat-out map may have its triangular mosaic pieces rearranged in many ways, for instance, to center the oceans or to center the lands. And the building of that airplane or ocean liner, as with the geodesic dome, will generate”
