Extract

In the course of an investigation connected with the free rotation of a rigid body I was led to the remark that, if ξ and η be two vectors related to one another so that

where φ is a self-conjugate linear and vector function, we have also

(so that the relation is reciprocal) provided which implies also the corresponding equation
