17 The Letter Patents
2Swimming pools, still the luxury of the few, with standardization and proper material solution may become an inconsequential accessory of the home, so far as cost is concerned. There are enough milk bottles and other forms of bottles, broken daily to more than provide glass swimming pools. Of such are the fourth dimensional adjustments.
3 Proper fourth-dimensional segmentation is angular and is the basis of the natural strength of triangulation, as opposed to the fallacial child of cubism the rectangle, which will economically die, necessitating waste material, in automobiles and aeroplanes, as well as in buildings. It is already to be seen in disappearing state in the wing shape of the airoplane, no longer of definite rectangular precision. Many solutions already possessed by the 4-D Control Syndicate, will be released from time to time in the RELATIVE order of their importance. First must come the house.
4 The ensuing patent specifications and drawing in no way are designed as artistic compositions, but merely demonstrate both verbally arid graphically a functional composition on which claims of invention must be patent by law be based. They are exhibited here for those who wish to follow through details that may throw light on previous broad statements. They are further exhibited as material translation of our philosophy, lest there be accusations of inability to fathom them. This has been done to a far greater extent than is purposely exhibited here, lest other than functional representation confuse or prejudice interpretations, and constructive comment that might not seem acceptable or applicable. When the comments on this essay have been received and applied to the problems, will the modular limits of the segregated functions be disclosed in the form of conditions for an international competition in design.
