Construction. Method of Triangulation. When the givencone is oblique. In Fig. 105 the given cone is taken with itsaxis parallel to V with its base in H and its apex at 0. Layoff o8 equal to element 08. Now with the true length of thearc 7-8 as a radius and 8 as a center strike an arc, and with oas a center and the true length of 0 7 as a radius strike a secondarc intersecting the first at 7. o7 then is the position in thedevelopment of the element O7. In practice the distance 8-7must be made small enough so that the triangle o87 will Heon the surface of the cone; in the figure these lines are takenfar apart to avoi
