Imagine the plane Xto be counter-revolved (revolved back) about IIX to its original position,taking with it the lines A, B, and C. The lines A and B, andtheir intersection, point o, will resume their former point 83k, being on the axis of revolution HX, will notmove. Hence the //-projection, C* of the line C must passthrough o* and .%h. To find the ^projection of C, note thato* must be projectedto o, while N,\ being an ff-trace, lies in H, and musl projectto Sj in GL.

As soon as the bisector, Cr, i drawn in the revolvedposition, it is seen that the intersection of 0, with the trace 146 DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY [XV, § 140. is beyond the limits of the figure. One point of C is o, and one point of Ch is oh. It remains to find a second point in each projection. Assume a point, er, in Cr. Through er draw the revolved position, Lr, of a line lying in the plane of the given lines, by making LT parallel to the revolved position of either of the given lines A or B; in this case LT is drawn parallel to AT. Since the line L is in the plane X, the intersection, t3v, of Lr and VX is the F-trace of the line L, and t3h is in GL. Also, since the line L is parallel to the line A, through tzv draw Lv parallel to A1, and through t3h draw Lh parallel to Ah. Now e is a point in the line L. Hence revolve back from er per- FlG- 22i Orated). pendicular to VX, and find ev on L; jjroject from e and obtain eh on Lh. Since e is a point also in the line C, we have Cv determined by ov and e, and Ch determined by oh and e\ 141. The Angle between a Line and a Plane. The anglewhich a line makes with a plane is e
