is is the Logarithmic Spiral. The involute of a circle is a spiral curve. 127. Problem.—To draw an Archimedian spiral of twoconvolutions, having given the pole 0, and the longest andshortest radii OA, OB. Take OABX as the initial line. From O draw a series of lines at equal angles with oneanother,… … 2 78 24- X twelve equal parts. Then AC or CB is equal to theincrease in the radius vector per revolution, and each of thedivisions is equal to the increase for 30°. Therefore make 01. = Oi, Oil. = O2, Olll. = 0$,and so on. Then a fair curve through A, I. II. III. . . .B is the Archimedian spiral…
