COMMENTS
The 2nd electrum rectangle is introduced here as a rectangle whose length L and width W satisfy L/W=1+sqrt(3). The name of this shape refers to the alloy of gold and silver known as electrum, in view of the existing names "golden rectangle" and "silver rectangle" and these continued fractions:
golden ratio: L/W=[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...]
silver ratio: L/W=[2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,...]
1st electrum ratio: L/W=[1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,...]
2nd electrum ratio: L/W=[2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,...].
Recall that removal of 1 square from a golden rectangle leaves a golden rectangle, and that removal of 2 squares from a silver rectangle leaves a silver rectangle. Removal of a square from a 1st electrum rectangle leaves a silver rectangle; removal of 2 squares from a 2nd electrum rectangle leaves a golden rectangle.

COMMENTS
This ratio is invariant of the size of the side-silver right triangle ABC. The shape of ABC is given by sidelengths a,b,c, where a=r*b, and c=sqrt(a^2+b^2), where r=(silver ratio)=(1+sqrt(2)). This is the unique right triangle matching the continued fraction [2,2,2,...] of r; i.e., under the side-partitioning procedure described in the 2007 reference, there are exactly 2 removable subtriangles at each stage. (This is analogous to the removal of 2 squares at each stage of the partitioning of the silver rectangle as a nest of squares.)
