Extract

If the two ends of a strip of paper are pasted on one another after having twisted one of them through 180°, we obtain a surface with only one side. On the last meeting of the British Association Professor A. Crum Brown showed a model of a mathematical surface closely connected with it. This surface, with the common name of “marrowbone,” is the locus of the line AB (fig. 1), cutting a given circle C orthogonally and moving under the condition ∠ AOD = 2 ∠ BAE.
