Homogeneous cubic cylinder packings revisited.
A method of systematically enumerating homogeneous (i.e. symmetry-related) packings of equal cylinders is developed. 19 three-way packings with axes parallel to <100> and 40 four-way packings with axes parallel to <111> are described. Cubic 6-, 12- and 24-way packings are possible and examples are given with axes parallel to <210> and <421>.
