DEVELOPEJIENT OF RIGHT AND OBLIQUE CVLINDERS.
1170. Cylinders may be considered as prisms whose bases are formed by polygons of an
infinite number of sides. 'I'lius, graphically, the developement of a right cylinder is ob-
tained, by a rectangle of the same height, having in its other direction the circumference of
the circle which serves as its base measured by a greater or less number of equal parts.
1171. But if the cylinder is oblique
{Jig. 494.), we_ must take the same measures as for
FIr. 496
the prism, and consider the inclination of it. Having described centrally on its axis the
circle or ellipsis which forms its perpendicular thickness in respect of the axis, the circum-
ference shoulfi be divided into an even number of equal parts, as, for instance, twelve,
begiiming from the diameter and drawing from the points of division the parallels to the
axis HA, bi, tk, dl, em,fm, GO, which will give the projection of the bases and the general
developement.
1172. For the projection of the bases on an horizontal plane, it is necessary that from
the points where the parallels meet the line of the base HO, indefinite perpendiculars
should be let fall, and after having drawn the line H' O', parallel to HO, upon these per-
pendiculars above and below the parallel must be transferred the size of the ordinatcs of
