Rollation Instructions

Thanks to Kell Black (blackk@APSU01.APSU.EDU) for FAXing me this excellent introduction to the technique of 'rollation' flattening of 3D shapes into folded paper (or metal!) contours. I thought that the instructions provided here were great, and I thought it would be a great idea to share them with the folks on the Paper Modellers' List. Any questions can be directed to me, although the material here on the site represents my complete understanding of the subject!
