	Cylindrical Map Projections
		The normal aspect for cylindrical projections assumes that the cylinder is tangent to the globe along the Equator.
		Cylindrical stereographic projections are rarely used, although Gall's stereographic projection has been proposed as compromise projection having less distortion of distances than the cylindrical gnomonic projection and less distortion of shapes than the cylindrical orthographic projection.
		The cylindrical orthographic projection assumes that the light source is an infinite distance from the projection surface, resulting in parallel rays of light.

	GDT: Cylindrical Specifications
		The surface must lie between the two cylindrical surface which bound the tolerance zone and are determined by a best-fit nominal cylinder.
		Since the roundness or cylindricity tolerance is a radial distance between concentric boundaries, a radial method of checking the surface is necessary.
		To truly check for the roundness or cylindricity of a surface without regard to the axis of the part, the part must be rotated about the ultra-precision spindle of a specialized roundness measuring machine.

	Cylindrical Surface Pasting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Cylindrical pasting is a parametric-blending method that creates a smooth transition surface between a pair of B-spline surfaces that do not originally intersect.
		In cylindrical pasting, a transition cylinder can be pasted on a NUBS surface or onto a NUBS cylinder.
		A displacement scheme is used to locate the control points of the blending cylinder to achieve approximate $C^1$ continuity between the boundaries of the base surfaces and the edges of the cylinders.

	Cylindrical Jets
		Stationary cylindrical jets are used in heavy-ion fusion chamber designs to construct a grid of shielding to protect wall material between ion beam ports.
		Many people are quick to note that an array of cylindrical jets provides square apertures along the beamlines, while the solid ports through which the beams enter the chamber are round.
		They are right to note this, and the issue can be remedied either by sacrificing some material at the beam port, which will be damaged over time (a bad option), or through adding a protective layer of fluid inside the beam tube that will spread at the chamber and provide additional protection.

	Cylindrical Coordinates
		It is important to compare the units that are used in Cartesian coordinates with the units that are used in cylindrical coordinates.
		In cylindrical coordinates, (r, theta, z), two of the coordinates -- r and z -- measure length and, thus, are in units of length but the coordinate theta measures angles and is in "units" of radians.
		When we worked in Cartesian coordinates we broke the region D into squares and then estimated the volume over each square by looking at a prism whose height was determined by evaluating the function f at a point in the square.

	Curled-Up Dimensions
		One of the first suggestions for closed cylindrical dimensions was made by Theodor Kaluza in 1919, in a paper communicated to the Prussian Academy by Einstein in 1921.
		Of course, these three dimensions are not individually cylindrical, nor do they commute, but at each point in three-dimensional space they constitute a closed three-dimensional manifold isomorphic to the group of rotations.
		This is interesting because, even though a closed cylindrical space may be locally Lorentzian, it is globally absolute, in the sense that there is a globally distinguished state of motion with respect to which an inertial observer's natural surfaces of simultaneity are coherent.

	Map Projection Overview
		Cylindrical Equal-Area projections have straight meridians and parallels, the meridians are equally spaced, the parallels unequally spaced.
		Gall's stereographic cylindrical projection results from projecting the earth's surface from the equator onto a secant cylinder intersected by the globe at 45 degrees north and 45 degrees south.
		The Peters projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection that de-emphasizes area exaggerations in high latitudes by shifting the standard parallels to 45 or 47 degrees.

		However, instead of the r coordinate, another polar coordinate system is drawn along the r-ray with the z axis as the polar axis.

		In a previous section, it was found that wave motion in wind instruments with cylindrical bores is adequately represented by plane-wave propagation along the length of the pipe.
		In general, the acoustic properties of the end of the wind-instrument bore are characterized by a non-zero and complex valued load impedance and this impedance can be expressed as a lumped traveling-wave reflectance, as given by the bracketed term of Eq.
		The lowest two cutoff frequencies for transverse modes in the cylindrical bore of a flute are approximately 11.96 kHz and 19.8 kHz.
