The locus can be shown to be a straight line which is perpendi- cular to the given straight line; also the given straight line touches one of the confocals and its pole with respect to that confocal is its point of contact ; this point of contact therefore lies on the locus, which is therefore the normal. As in Art. 366, use the Invariants of Art. 135, XLVI. (Pages 405—407.) ‘Two of the normals drawn from O coincide, since it is a centre of curvature, ‘The straight line le-+-my=1 (Art. 412) is therefore a tangent to the ellipse at some point ¢ and hence, by Art. 412, the equation to QR can be found in terms of ¢.

Thus both C and O are on the directrix. ‘The crease is clearly tho line bisecting at right angles the line joining the initial position of C to the position which C occupies When the paper is folded.
