I recently came across a reference to an article about paperfolding in the February 1928 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine (in a post on the Didactics and Research of Folding site by Oschene).
The first design explained in this article is 'The Making of Abd-El-Krim', a design I have not seen before. Unfortunately I cannot reconstruct the folding method from the diagrams ... and I wondered if anyone else might like to have a look at it and see if they can achieve better success. It may be that the diagrams are wrong ... or that I just cannot interpret them correctly ... If you are interested you can find the diagrams at www.origamiheaven.com/historypopularmechanicsfeb1928.htm Please let me know how you get on and share any insights you have as to how this design might work. Has anyone seen this design elsewhere? Thanks Dave
