Construction Of A Cycloid
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
An illustration showing how to construct a cycloid. “The circumference C=3.14D. Divide the rolling circle and base line C into a number of equal parts, draw through the division point the ordinates and abscissas, make aa’ = 1d, bb’ = 2’e, cc = 3f, then ab’ and c’ are points in the cycloid. In the Epicycloid and Hypocycloid the abscissas are circles and the ordinates are radii to one common center.”
