The document describes two methods for approximately developing a sphere: 1. The polycylindric/gore method which divides a quadrant into equal central angles and measures arcs and chords to form gores which are assembled to approximate the sphere. 2. The polyconic/zone method which draws concentric circles and arcs, dividing the sphere into equal sectors. Tangent lines and arcs are drawn to form zones which are assembled to approximate the sphere.

- 5. TOP VIEW Construction by the Polycylindric/Gore method- quarter development 1. Draw concentric circles in the top (letters) lines in front are diameters of these circles 2. divide a quadrant to equal central angles 3. measure arcs 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and draw line at the midpt 4. measure circumferential arc from great circle (E )to the nxt P 5 circle in the front view ( D ) 5. measure the chord P of circle D in top A 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until P 4 B A 7. Trace a curve at each endpoints to form a gore C 3 D B 8.

- 6. TOP VIEW Construction by the Polyconic/Zone method 1. Draw circle A and draw chord in the front view 2. With P as vertex/pivot, draw arc whose radius = chord 3. Divide one quarter of the sphere to equal sectors 4. Measure arc in A (top) & lay it off in arc (16 parts) 5. Draw line tangent to the sphere at circle A (front) 6. With that line tangent as radius, draw the arc tangent to arc P A B C 5 7. Draw circle B 8. In the front view, measure line tangent + arc bet. A& B. This becomes the Radius of another arc 4 9. Measure arc in B (top) & lay it off in arc (16 parts) 3 10. Repeat step 5 to finsih half the sphere 2 development 1 P P A B C E FRONT VIEW Prepared by: MARIFA S. TORRALBA, PhD
