Popular Cube SchemeDescription
Many doubling cubes dating to the 1970's participate in a regular numeral scheme that can help in dating doubling cubes of uncertain origin. It is not known who produced these cubes. A New York company called 'The Doubling Cub' markets luxury cubes and octagons in the mid-1970's, but photos in a 1976 ad show cubes of varied numerals schemes; however, it is possible that at some point after the ad they regularized the scheme. Crisloid would be another candidate, but one would expect to see more vintage Crisloid boards with this style of cube in place. Further examples or clues to the origins of this style are needed.
While this cube scheme has not endured 'in toto', its most useful feature has become fairly standard: placing the '2' on the face directly below the 64 so that it is visible to both players when the cube is placed at the side of the board with the 64 on top.Other Names and Numbers
