Paraboloid :: Paraboloid (n.) The solid generated by the rotation of a parabola about its axis; any surface of the second order whose sections by planes parallel to a given line are parabolas.

Translation :: Translation (n.) Motion in which all the points of the moving body have at any instant the same velocity and direction of motion; -- opposed to rotation.

Operameter :: Operameter (n.) An instrument or machine for measuring work done, especially for ascertaining the number of rotations made by a machine or wheel in manufacturing cloth; a counter..

Irrotational :: Irrotational (a.) Not rotatory; passing from one point to another by a movement other than rotation; -- said of the movement of parts of a liquid or yielding mass.

Cylinder :: Cylinder (n.) A solid body which may be generated by the rotation of a parallelogram round one its sides; or a body of rollerlike form, of which the longitudinal section is oblong, and the cross section is circular..

Spina Bifida :: Spin (n.) Velocity of rotation about some specified axis.

Rotatory :: Rotatory (a.) Going in a circle; following in rotation or succession; as, rotatory assembles..

Twirl :: Twirl (n.) The act of twirling; a rapid circular motion; a whirl or whirling; quick rotation.

Wheel :: Wheel (n.) A turn revolution; rotation; compass.

Screw :: Screw (n.) A straight line in space with which a definite linear magnitude termed the pitch is associated (cf. 5th Pitch, 10 (b)). It is used to express the displacement of a rigid body, which may always be made to consist of a rotation about an axis combined with a translation parallel to that axis..

Rotation :: Rotation (n.) Any return or succesion in a series.

Cycloscope :: Cycloscope (n.) A machine for measuring at any moment velocity of rotation, as of a wheel of a steam engine..

Rotation :: Rotation (n.) The act of turning, as a wheel or a solid body on its axis, as distinguished from the progressive motion of a revolving round another body or a distant point; thus, the daily turning of the earth on its axis is a rotation; its annual motion round the sun is a revolution..
