|
VERTICITY |
The quality or power of turning; revolution; rotation. |

To go out by rotation or succession; to rotate. |
|
EQUIROTAL |
Having wheels of the same size or diameter; having equal
rotation. |
|
ROTATORY |
Going in a circle; following in rotation or succession;
as, rotatory assembles. |
|
TWIRL |
The act of twirling; a rapid circular motion; a whirl or
whirling; quick rotation. |
|
CIRCUMDUCTION |
The rotation of a limb round an imaginary axis, so
as to describe a concial surface. |
|
ROTATION |
Pertaining to, or resulting from, rotation; of the nature
of, or characterized by, rotation; as, rotational velocity. |
|
CYCLOSCOPE |
A machine for measuring at any moment velocity of
rotation, as of a wheel of a steam engine. |
|
TROCHOID |
Admitting of rotation on an axis; -- sometimes applied to
a pivot joint like that between the atlas and axis in the vertebral
column. |
|
ORIENTATION |
The tendency of a revolving body, when suspended in a
certain way, to bring the axis of rotation into parallelism with the
earth's axis. |
|
TRANSLATION |
Motion in which all the points of the moving body have
at any instant the same velocity and direction of motion; -- opposed to
rotation. |
|
SWIVEL |
A piece, as a ring or hook, attached to another piece by a
pin, in such a manner as to permit rotation about the pin as an axis. |
|
GLISSETTE |
The locus described by any point attached to a curve
that slips continuously on another fixed curve, the movable curve
having no rotation at any instant. |
|
WHIRL |
A turning with rapidity or velocity; rapid rotation or
circumvolution; quick gyration; rapid or confusing motion; as, the
whirl of a top; the whirl of a wheel. |
|
IRROTATIONAL |
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. |
|
ROLLING |
Rotating on an axis, or moving along a surface by
rotation; turning over and over as if on an axis or a pivot; as, a
rolling wheel or ball. |
|
PARABOLOID |
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. |
