Editing Convex uniform honeycomb (section)

===Examples===
The [[tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb|alternated cubic honeycomb]] is of special importance since its vertices form a cubic [[close-packing]] of spheres. The space-filling [[truss]] of packed octahedra and tetrahedra was apparently first discovered by [[Alexander Graham Bell]] and independently re-discovered by [[Buckminster Fuller]] (who called it the [[octet truss]] and patented it in the 1940s).

FIXME: move this discussion of octet truss to [[Buckminster Fuller]] or perhaps [[octet truss]], leaving behind a link to where it went.
