USE The mode of finding the developement of an obliciue cone, shown m jigs. 502, 503,
504, 505. differs, as follows, from the preceding. 1 . From the position of the apex C upon
the plan 503., determined by a vertical let fall from such apex \n
Jig.
502. 2. Because the
line DI of this figure, being parallel to the base, gives for the plan a circle instead of an
ellipsis. 3. Because in finding the lengthened extent of the right lines drawn from the
apex of the cone to the circumference of the base, divided into equal parts,^^. 504. is intro-
duced to bring them together in order to avoid confusion, these lines being all of a ditl'erent
size on account of the oblicpiity of the cone. In this figure the line CC shows the perpen-
dicular height of the apex of the cone above the plan
;
so that by transfeiring from each side
the jirojections of these lines taken on the plan from the point C to the circumference, \vi
shall have CA", CI, C2, CF", C3, C4, CB', on one side, and CA', C8, C7, CF, C6, C5, and
CB" on the other ;
lastly, from the point C drawing lines to all these points, they will give the
edges or arrisses of the inscribed pyramid, by which the developement infg. 505. is obtained.
Having obtained the point C" representing the apex, a line is to be drawn througli it e(jual
to CA" (/?(/. 504.) ; then with one of the divisions of the base taken on the plan, such as
Al, it must be laid from the point A of the developement of the section
;
then taking C'l
oi
fg.
504., describe from the point C" another arc which will cross the former, and will
determine the point 1 of the developement. Continuing the operations with the constant
length Al and the different lengths C2, CF', C:3, &c., taken from
fg.
504. and transferred
to C"2, C"F, C"3, &c. of the developement, the necessary points will be obtained for tracing
the curve B"AB"', representing the contour of the oblique base of the cone.

from the summit C, cutting all the oblique lines that have served for the preceding de-
velopement ; and on one side, CD', Cw, Co, Cp, C7, Cr, CI", must be carried to

The curve line passing through these points will be the developement of this circle.

transferred to

points from the apex C, which aie to be laid in
