When the moving and fixed cylinders are any two circular cylinders, not co-axial, the limiting points are taken as the foci of reference ; and, supposing 2c the distance between them, and |, 77 the dipolar system of coordinates, we have sinh TJ sin | cosh 77 - cos | and then cosh TJ - cos = J_ i 0(r (x + c}~ + ?y 2 2 (x- cf + y 2 --tan" x-c x + c so that = constant is the equation of a circle passing through the two limiting points, and 77 = constant is the equation of an ortho gonal circle.
