I heard this example was given in Whitehead's paper A CERTAIN OPEN MANIFOLD WHOSE GROUP IS UNITY.( http://qjmath.oxfordjournals.org/content/os-6/1/268.full.pdf ) But I was confused by his term. Thus I'm looking for a standard explanation about this example.

But since my aim is to know about an example of this kind, any alternative will do either.

I heard this example was given in Whitehead's paper A CERTAIN OPEN MANIFOLD WHOSE GROUP IS UNITY.( http://qjmath.oxfordjournals.org/content/os-6/1/268.full.pdf ) But I was shocked by his terms. I'm sure I have to read something before looking at it. So what's your suggestions? Probably because of my ignorant, I'm also wondering did his term remain standard today?

ps, do I need to explain in detail where I got lost? I don't prefer doing that because I got lost everywhere, for eg. feeling uncertain about his "circuit", "element", "solid", and "symbol",....

Sorry but I'm too confused to explain further. I'm sure I have to read something before looking at it. So what's your suggestions?
