Abstract
A unique symmetric gliding double screw (SGDS-) motion is constructed which possesses a second order contact with an arbitrary given Euclide an motion at a given position. Additionally it is shown that generally no double screw motion exists which has this property. The constructe d SGDS-motion can be said to be the analogue of the osculating circle of a curve for spatial Euclidean motions. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Lt d.
