THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PASTIMES 113 The result is the repeating pattern of fig. 135^. Numbering its compartments, take it as a new base as in fig. 135 e with the contact system 1 to 4, 2 to 5, 3 to 6 and with the boundaries as in fig. 135^ … The result is the repeating pattern (fig. 135 «) of which we are in search. It has emerged by combining a square base and the contact system 1 to 3, 2 to 4 with an hexagonal base having the contact system 1 to 4, 2 to 5, 3 to 6. We now find that the pattern may be made to emerge at once from the…
