In the Euclidean plane a curve C has a one-parameter family of parallel involutes and a unique evolute C* which coincides with the locus of the centres of the osculating circles of C. If is parallel to C, C* is also the evolute of . We will study parallel curves in n-dimensional Euclidean space and obtain generalizations of the properties given above.
