In (5) Hammer and Sobczyk defined an outwardly simple line family in the plane as a family of lines in the plane having the property that each point outside some given circle lies on exactly one line of the family, and they characterized planar outwardly simple line families as follows (5): the extended diameters of a convex body, whose boundary has no pair of parallel line segments in it, form an outwardly simple line family; moreover, each outwardly simple line family is the family of extended diameters of a convex body having constant width.
