notes: label: Description
content: In 1880, Ernst Lange, a student at the mathematical institute of the technical high school in Munich, working under the direction of Felix Klein, designed four plaster models of space curves of degree three drawn on cylinders with cross sections that are conic sections. All of these curves represent the intersection of a surface of degree two with the cylinder shown.
label: Description
content: This model, the fourth in the series, shows the intersection of parabolic cylinder (a cylinder with a cross section that is a parabola) with a cone. The curve is a cubic parabola.
label: Description
content: A paper tag on the model reads: Raumcurve 3. Ordnung. (/) 6. Serie, Nr. 6a. (/) Verlag v. Martin Schilling, Leipzig. A mark in pen on the tag reads: Cubic Parabola;
