The mathematical condition to be expressed in any case of it is simply that the
distance measured along the line from any one point to any other , remains
constant , however the line be bent . 17. The use of a cord in mechanism

The motion of the treadle in a spinning - wheel approximates to the same
condition when the wheel moves uniformly ; the approximation being the closer ,
the smaller is the angular motion of the treadle and of the connecting string . It is
also ...

But the plane and position of the circle of which this projection is taken may
clearly be found so as to fulfil the condition of having the projections of the ranges
coincident with any two given mutually bisecting lines . Hence any two given
simple ...

It is not necessary to suppose the figure to be a mere flat disc or plane - for the
preceding statements apply to any one of a set of parallel planes in a rigid body ,
moving in any way subject to the condition that the points of any one plane in it ...
