Curve of Constant Precession
A curve whose Centrode revolves about a fixed axis with constant Angle and Speed when the curve istraversed with unit Speed. The Tangent Indicatrix of a curve of constant precession is aSpherical Helix. An Arc Length parameterization of a curve of constant precession with NaturalEquations
