Abstract

The paper examines the subspaces of a space spanned by three independent twists (or wrenches) with axes parallel to a common plane. A complete characterization of all screw cylindoids nested within a special three-system of screws is given. The results are illustrated by means of geometric models of three-dimensional projective space incorporating the Ball circle diagram of the cylindroid.
