The radius of curvature in the sagittal plane at a specified off-axis point on the surface. 1, record 1, English, - sagittal%20radius%20of%20curvature
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The radius at a specified point on the surface is equal to the distance along the normal at that point to its intersection with the axis of rotation. The sagittal plane contains the normal to the surface at the specified point, but does not contain the axis of rotation, being perpendicular to the tangential plane. 1, record 1, English, - sagittal%20radius%20of%20curvature
