If
p
denotes the distance between such
a
circle of the
given
system and its center, then its radius will be
=
Jr2
-
p2
.
Its
equation
is
(x
-
p)2
+
r2
-
p2
y2
=
r2

We
now
search for the
equation
of the
envelope, i.e.,
the intersection
of
two
such circles whose
p
differ
infinitesimally
from each other.
For the
intersection, in the
case
of
an
infinitesimal increment
d(p),
the
increments
of
x
and
y
as
well
as
the
equation
must
identically
equal
0.
Hence:

We
now
have to consider the condition under which
