notes: label: Description
content: This is one of six models designed by Walter Ludwig of Breslau on the suggestion of Felix Klein and with the participation of Frederick Schilling. It sold from 1902. Four models in the series show space curves of third order drawn on cylinders of various forms. All are plastic (celluloid) with metal frames. In this, the second of the four, the cross section of the cylinder is a hyperbola (in two parts), making it a hyperbolic cylinder. One section of the surface has a vertical straight line and two curves that approach it asymptotically. The second has a single curve drawn on it. These curves constitute a cubic hyperbola.
