Steps are given to draw involute of given circle. Arrange the steps f C is the centre of circle and P be the end of the thread (starting point). i. Draw a line PQ, tangent to the circle and equal to the circumference of the circle. ii. Draw the involute through the points P1, P2, P3 ……..etc. iii. Divide PQ and the circle into 12 equal parts. iv. Draw tangents at points 1, 2, 3 etc. and mark on them points P1, P2, P3 etc. such that 1P1 =P1l, 2P2 = P2l, 3P3= P3l etc.

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
