Formulation: Articulation, Folio I, Folder 6

Four upright rectangular backgrounds (taken from folder I-5). Each of these carries the same design (from an early glass picture), which consists of overlapping and penetrating groups of horizontal lines and blocks which we read vertically up and down. The color in all four cases is precisely the same middle gray. This appears dark at the far left and light at the far right, and on the second and third grounds appears somewhat metallic, with a yellowish and reddish tinge.
