Object Details

Jullien, A.
Description
The horizontal line is represented by the wire coming out of the vertical plane at c’. The second line would run from point a on the horizontal plane to b’ on the vertical, however the black string that should represent this line is missing. The two lines intersect at point (m, m’) at the bend in the wire. Lines cd and ab are the projections of the lines on the horizontal plane, with line nm perpendicular to cd at m. By rotating about these three lines as in relief 25, the angle between the given lines is shown on the horizontal plane as angle aM2D1.
