I remember the Reader had an article dealing with the concept that triangulation makes lots of things stronger, e.g., bridges and bicycles.  I've scoured my old Readers but can't find the article.  

Would anyone be able to kindly direct me where I can find it?

it's for an engineer friend who's teaching the concept of triangulation.

thank you,

Look wayyyyy back, it's in one of the first ones. In fact I think it's in No.1, which would be after No. 0.

There's an article called "Trusses" in RR 32 by Kevin Moore, a structural engineer. If you need a copy let me know.

It's in 32?? My bad, my memory of when I read that article is WAY wrong. This is not unusual for me! 🤪

32 is from 2004, so pretty ancient history at this point. ;-)

According to my brain 2004 was two years ago and I'm still 44 😬

An RBW list member posted all of the Riv Reader PDFs-- I think with Grant's blessing:

Here's a direct link to RR32 (see p22):

Here's an index (PDF):
happy reading!
