Graphic representation of the periodic table of chemical elements designed in the style of a spiral consisting of four revolutions. This table was originated by Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg (1854-1919) in 1913 and classified by chemist Edward G. Mazurs as Type IIIB2-1 in his seminal work Types of Graphic Representation of the Periodic System of Chemical Elements (1957). This table appears as Figure 63 on page 132 of Mazurs' 1957 publication.
