We describe and analyze a new construction that produces new
Eulerian lattices from old ones. It specializes to a construction
that produces new strongly regular cellular spheres (whose face
lattices are Eulerian).
The construction does not always specialize to convex polytopes;
however, in a number of cases where we can realize it, it produces
interesting classes of polytopes. Thus we produce an infinite family
of rational 2-simplicial 2-simple 4-polytopes, as requested by
Eppstein et al. We also construct for
each d

3 an infinite family of (d – 2)-simplicial 2-simple
d-polytopes, thus solving a problem of Grünbaum.
