If you add in colors, the numbers increase dramatically!
I also started a listing of extant historical bands indexed by structure. It still needs some work.

Hi all,
Some time ago I started a project to weave a variety of samplers from one threaded-in pattern, a simple triangle in three colors, symmetrical from the central axis, by always turning the complete pack together and without changing the position of individual tablets.
My idea was to show students that there is more then weaving 4F-4B for such a band.
I imagined that perhaps I could find about 20 solution. How wrong that turned out to be!
