  Abstract:
Any set of 8 blocks of size 4 over an 8-set, isomorphic to {abcd,abxy, acty, adtx, bcyz, bdxz, cdtz, txyz } is called an octahedral configuration which is a generalization of a quadrilateral of Pasch configuration or one half of a minimal 3-(8,4) trade. In this paper we show that all Hanai's recursive constructions of SQS (v) for v ≡ 2 or 4 (mod 6) contain octahedrads except for v=4,10, and 14.
