Abstract

In accordance with H. R. Müller [3] we understand under a curve of constant slope in the elliptic 3-space an isogonal trajectory of the generators of an arbitrary Clifford cylinder. Using linegeometric methods in a special projective model, we study in particular those curves of constant slope, whose tangents form also a constant angle with a fixed plane. Thereby we meet with well-known classes of curves in the Euclidean space, such as spherical involutoids and tractrices of circles and loxodromes on a torus.
