Abstract
The advantages are discussed of using a ball model to determine the arrangement of lattice points in a given lattice plane and for determining the stacking properties of such planes. It is shown that the ball model can be considered as a simple analogue computer for solving the Diophantine equations involved. To date, such ball models have been used only for cubic and hexagonal crystals, but they can be constructed for many other structures.
