Illustration showing a centroid, "the curve passing through the successive positions of the instantaneous centre of a body having a combined motion of rotation and translation is called a centroid." A smooth curve passes through the successive positions of the instantaneous centers (all the centers marked o)will be the centroid ab.

"Since these curves are not closed, one pair cannot be used for continuous motion; but a pair of such curves may be well adapted to sectional wheels requiring a varying angular velocity." This figure shows an example of the process.

"If two equal ellipses, each turning about one of its foci, are placed in contact in such a way that the distance between the axes O<SUB>1</SUB> and O<SUB>2</SUB> is equal to the major axis of the ellipses, we shall find that they will be in contact on the line of centres and that the rolling arcs are of equal length."

Illustration showing that the rolling of non-cylindrical surfaces. "If the angular velocity ratio of two rolling bodies is not a constant, the pitch lines take, the conditions of pure rolling contact should be fulfilled, namely, the point of contact must be on the line of centres, and the rolling arcs must be of equal length.
