Excerpt from Notes on Roulettes and Glissettes

The following pages contain the explanation of methods, and the investigation of formulæ, which I have for some time past found useful in the discussion of the curves produced by the rolling or sliding of one curve on another.

These methods and formulæ are with a few exceptions original, and, I believe, new; and my object has been to present, from a geometrical point of view, solutions of the various problems connected with Roulettes and Glissettes. I have ventured to introduce, and employ, the word Glissette, as being co-expressive with Roulette, a word which has been in use amongst mathematicians for a considerable time.

The formula of Art. (34) is of course well known; it is given in Salmon's Higher Plane Curves, in Walton and Campion's Solutions, in Jullien's Problems, in Bertrand's Differential Calculus, and probably in many other books.

The theorem of Art. (37) was enunciated some years ago, for the particular case of a conic, by Mr Wolstenholme, and extended by myself to the case of any curve. I have however recently found a reference to it in the Nouvelles Annales for June, 1869, from which it appears that it was given by Steiner in an early number of the same journal.
