Very many interesting applications of this principle may be made , of which ,
however , few belong strictly to our subject , and we shall therefore give only an
example or two . Thus we know that if a line of given length AB move with its ...

Also AB in its motion always touches a ( called in geometry its envelop ) ; and P
the same principle enables us to find the point of the envelop which lies in A AB ,
for the motion of that point must evidently be ultimately ( that is for a very small ...
