In Figure 2, the chords of the circle, which come out from the vertex, have been transferred onto corresponding parallels one-to-one, each chord with one end on the axis while the other ends, taken together, draw a parabola.

Ibid., pp. 53–57. In Figure 3 (left), the vertex of the right angle is the focus of the parabola. Let us draw a segment of any kind inside the triangle and parallel to the directrix; now, with the compass centre on the focus and the compass opening equal to the segment, we mark a point P on the segment itself: this point forms part of the parabola to be constructed, because it is equidistant from the focus and directrix.

Jacques Heyman, “Poleni’s Problem,” Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 1988, 84.1:737–759. In a hemispheric dome, the theory of curved membranes identifies the limit of the zone of tension – in the lower part – 38° azimuth angle from the springing level; while in the upper part the parallels are subject only to compression; Odone Belluzzi, Scienza delle costruzioni, 4 vols., Vol. 3 (Bologna: Zanichelli, 1947), pp. 267–269.
