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

In Newton's notation v is used to express the acceleration in the direction of
motion ; and , if v = s as in § 28 , we have a = v = j . 34. But there is another form
in which acceleration may manifest itself . Even if a point's velocity remain
unchanged ...

For the velocity ( V ) in the original direction of motion remains unchanged ; and
therefore , in time t , a space Vt is described parallel to this line . But in the same
interval , by the above reasoning , we see that a space fata is described parallel
to ...

... one , as the rate of increase of the angle contained by them ; but unless their
line of intersection remain fixed , or at all events parallel to itself , a somewhat
more laboured statement is required to give a complete specification of the
motion .
