Plane touching along axis through
the two cnicnodes and containing
the mere line.
Mere line, being
also a trans
versal.
Edge of the binode.
Axis through the
two cnicnodes.
Axes, each through
the binode and
a cnicnode.
where the equations of the lines and planes are shown in the margins.
187. The mere line is facultative; the edge is also facultative counting twice (this
will appear from the discussion of the reciprocal surface): b' = p'=3, t'= 1.
