Extract

In a paper published in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, (2), 40 (1936), 143, Welchman introduced the idea of fundamental scrolls from which all special scrolls may be obtained by projection, and he developed the theory of fundamental line scrolls. These fundamental line scrolls are generated by joins of pairs of corresponding points in a cyclic (1, 1) correspondence of period 2 on a canonical curve. In this paper I generalize some of Welchman's results, and then go on to consider certain fundamental scrolls which have a particular interest.
