If we write m = —r— in the one case and m = —=■— in theb o other, we get the equations of the two curves in more compactform, viz., t = mcosd— cosmd, V j- = rasin0 — smra0, r = mcosd + cosm0, V r = msmd — sinra0. b 95 CYCLOIDAL CURVES 131 It is geometrically evident that each curve consists of a series ofarches, and has a cusp at each point of contact of the generatingpoint, P, with the fixed circle. When 6 is a divisor of a, the num-ber of arches and of cusps = r> and there are no double points. When b is not a divisor of a, the curve has double points. When aand b are commensurable, th
