Consider a plane curve C of order n and class X; it is to be supposed throughout that C has only ordinary Plücker singularities, i.e. nodes, cusps, inflections and bitangents. Through any point P1 of C there pass, apart from the tangent at P1 itself, X – 2 lines which touch C; let T12 be the point of contact of any one of these tangents and P2 any one of the n – 3 further intersections of P1T12 with C. Through P2 there pass, apart from the tangent at P2 itself and the line P2P1, X — 3 lines which touch C; let T23 be the point of contact of any one of these with C and P3 any one of its n — 3 further intersections with C.
