The axes of coordinates, x, y, z. The axes of elasticity a, h, and c, each withits three directions. The two wave normals or velocities Wj andw, and their direction cosines, Z, m, n. The two wave fronts, wf^ and wfj. The two vectors of the wave surface, or the. barb and step-over be on the same side of thespecification, as stated.
