Prismatic compound of prisms
- Prismatic compound of prisms
Each member of this infinite family of uniform polyhedron compounds is a symmetric arrangement of prisms sharing a common axis of rotational symmetry.
This infinite family can be enumerated as follows:
*For each positive integer "n">1 and for each rational number "p"/"q">2, there occurs the compound of "n" "p"/"q"-gonal prisms, with symmetry group D"np"h.
