37. Strictly speaking, should this fan be exactly regular, there would be multiple intersections, for example at its very center. To avoid this difficulty, each family must be slightly shifted by a random distance much smaller than the interline separation. Such shifts have been performed in the Fig. 14, even though it might not be clear because of resolution.
