A BRIEF HISTORY OF
CONIC SHELLS....


September 10-17, 2008 Conic Workshop in Anchor Bay builds 850 sq. ft. multiConic with no internal tripod structures. The plywood is doing all the work of conveying all loads to eight generator beams. The process works well enough that 200 additional sq. ft. is added to the Conic Shell in 2012.
