Thank you Robert!
From the articles, it appears the inspiration was a model form the desk of C R
Calladine who, after a little more research, seems to be pretty big in
tensegrity structures. I can see how the triangulated cylinder pattern (also
Kresling pattern is succinct) - could have arisen from investigating this kind
of structure. Thanks again for the tip.
Its nice to have a narrative for the development and discoveries.
best, Matthew
