Preprints

We introduce a local coordinate description for the correspondence between the space of oriented affine lines in Euclidean R 3 and the tangent bundle to the 2-sphere. These can be utilised to give canonical coordinates on surfaces in R 3 , as we illustrate with a number of explicit examples
