Lyksett" Organization: Calif State Univ/Electronic Information Services Subject: 'squashed' domes I'm interested in building a 'squashed' dome for use as a meeting/dining hall at a camp facility. I've seen the math tables in Domebook 2, but they're beyond me! Does anyone know of a company that can provide struts/hubs for a non-spherical dome? I don't have the equipment or the know how to cut my own and all the dome companies I've seen only deal in typical spherical residental structures. Thanks, * Jon D.

Or do you need the "walls" (interesting differentiation) to be nearer vertical, thus an ellipsoidial dome? ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 May 1993 13:52:55 EDT Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Brewer Eddy Subject: 14'half dome I know this is basic, but... I would very much appreciate some help. I want to put up a shed. I'm thinking of a 4'riser wall with a 1/2 dome on top, 14' diameter, icosa generated, vertex zenith, 3 fr., using plyhubs. Chord factor A = 4.326 (4' 4"); chord factor B = 3.825 (3'10"). But I have questions... (Done a model in oak tag!) Has anyone already done this? Could you confirm some numbers (like A and B above...)? Is this the largest dome that allows 2 panels (one whole, the other in two halves) to be cut from a 4'x8' sheet? Anyone has a materials list? I'v done some carpentry and assembled models and a 18' 3/8 dome from panels made by others. I am apprehensive since I believe that I should be surer of numbers before I order materials and start up a circular saw... These are complicated enough structures to allow a real mess up... But they are so-o wonderful. Any and all help will be gratefully accepted. And thanks.
