The 75 Uniform Compounds of Uniform Polyhedra
    Short Names

    Jonathan Bowers has created short names for the Uniform Compounds, with the exception of the prism forms, numbers 20 through 25, which are infinite sets. These short names have been refered to as "Bowers Style Acronyms".

    The table also contains the long name (also created by Bowers) from which were derived the Bowers Style Acronyms.

    Generation of VRML models was expedited by the use of Robert Webb's Stella application, and the .Stel files are available above to Stella users. The Hedron application by Jim McNeill was used extensively for model creation and to generate switch files.

    I'd also like to thank Alex Doskey for his spreadsheet method which made the construction of this page much easier. I also use JovoToys in polyhedra contruction.
