Abstract

A plural-single-sweptback geodesic dome connector system for joining struts to arms of the connector provides a uniform circular hub periphery permitting assembly-connection of the arms at any selected peripheral angles to the hub; hub diameter may advantageously be 1.75 times strut width to provide laterally abutting bracing of struts for six-arm uniform-arm spacing connectors.
