The circumstances of mere motion , considered without reference to the bodies
moved , or to the forces producing the motion , or to the forces called into action
by the motion , constitute the subject of a branch of Pure Mathematics , which is ...

The original curve , considered with reference to the other , is called the Evolute .
21. It will be observed that we speak of an involute , and of the evolute , of a curve
. In fact , as will be easily seen , a curve can have but one evolute , but it has ...

It consists in drawing a curve , which may be called the tidal hodograph with
reference to any point of a chart for which the tidal currents are to be specified
throughout the chief tidal period ( twelve lunar hours ) . Numbers from I. to XII .

As an additional illustration of this part of our subject , we may define as follows :
If one point A executes any motion whatever with reference to a second point B ;
if B executes any other motion with reference to a third point C ; and so on - the ...
