Abstract
For every , we construct a body of constant width in with small volume and symmetries of a regular -simplex. is the Reuleaux triangle. To the best of our knowledge, was not previously constructed, and its volume is smaller than the volume of other three-dimensional bodies of constant width with tetrahedral symmetries. While the volume of is slightly larger than the volume of Meissner's bodies of width , it exceeds the latter by less than . For all large , the volume of is smaller than the volume of the ball of radius .
