Abstract
We developed a formulation using the continuous least-squares method t o determine the inclined toroidal surface that best fits a given off-a xis conic section. A toroid with a known curvature is used to obtain a n analytic equation for the angle of inclination of the axis with resp ect to the normal to the center of the off-axis section.
