Abstract

Certain properties of Ruled Surfaces relating to their Curves of Striction are suggested and immediately proved by the use of a particular kind of coordinates, known as Dual Coordinates, for the Generating Lines. These coordinates, were introduced by Prof. E. Study; the theory of them is fully explained and many beautiful applications are made in his treatise, Geometrie der Dynamen, Teubner, 1903, and in his article, Complexe Grössen in the Encyclopädie der math. Wissenschaften, Bd. I., pp. 147–183, and specially p. 166. In applying the method here I have ventured to regard the fundamental quantity c in a light which, if less rigorous, has the advantage of being familiar to most of us in other mathematical work.
