STRUCTURES BY RICHARD BUCKMINSTER FULLER. The first New York exhibition of actual structures by the engineer-mathematician, whose geodesic domes have been built all over the world, is erected in the Museum's outdoor exhibition area. It includes a 55' diameter dome of translucent plastic, used by the Air Force for DEW radar stations, and a 100' long "space frame" octet truss of aluminium tubes anodised gold. The plastic "Radome" has been lent to the exhibition by Lincoln Laboratory at M.I.T. The octet truss, co-sponsored by Aluminium Ltd., has never before been demonstrated at such large scale.
