1895, W. Burnside, “Kinematics of Non-Euclidean Space”, in Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, page 46:If n planes be drawn through any axis of the right-vector, each of which makes angles π/n with the planes on either side of it, the whole of space is divided into n congruent figures which may be called biangles, the space between any two adjacent planes being easily seen to be continuous with the vertically opposite space between them.
1912, Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, volumes 30-32, Scottish Academic Press, page 35:Then the right biangle CABD and the oblique biangle CPND are equivalent since the triangles API and BNI are congruent.
