continuous helix Explanation: I would render the Gleitachse as "the line of translation", and a "durchgehende physikalische Schraube" is probably a continuous helix (I'm not sure about the adjective "physikalische" - isn't everything physical?). Perhaps this Wikipedia entry plus references can help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_axis#Crystallography -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 days (2014-07-26 02:05:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I just realized what the author means by the adjective "physikalsch" -- The infinite symmetry manifests itself physically as a continuous helical structure. So, yes, continuous helix should be correct. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_axis#Crystallography |
