   instantaneous center of rotation kinematics, in a plane
      or in a plane figure which has motions both of translation
      and of rotation in the plane, is the point which for the
      instant is at rest.

   instantaneous axis of rotation kinematics, in a body
      which has motions both of translation and rotation, is a
      line, which is supposed to be rigidly united with the
      body, and which for the instant is at rest. the motion of
      the body is for the instant simply that of rotation about
      the instantaneous axis. -- in`stanta"neously, adv. --
