The reciprocal polar figure of a circle s, with regard to another circle c, is a conic, one of whose foci is the centre of the reciprocating circle. The polar reciprocal of a with regard to c is obtained by taking the polars of points on s with regard to c, and then constructing the envelope of these lines.
