This paper describes what are believed to be new Class I spherical triangulation systems in which the number of different arc lengths is the same as the frequency. Comparisons are provided between these new systems with a Class II triangulation system regarding the relative lengths, number of different triangles and the relative size of the triangles. The effort is further extended to double layer systems used for dome-type space structures.
