        parallel to the base of the hemisphere, the point of sight

        it from a given point of sight, or central point; as, the

     Cylindric projection, a mode of representing the sphere,
        the spherical surface being projected upon the surface of
        a cylinder touching the sphere, the point of sight being

     Mercator's projection, a mode of representing the sphere in
        which the meridians are drawn parallel to each other, and
        the parallels of latitude are straight lines whose
        distance from each other increases with their distance
        from the equator, so that at all places the degrees of
        latitude and longitude have to each other the same ratio
        as on the sphere itself.
  
     Oblique projection, a projection made by parallel lines
        drawn from every point of a figure and meeting the plane
        of projection obliquely.
  
     Polar projection, a projection of the sphere in which the
        point of sight is at the center, and the plane of
        projection passes through one of the polar circles.
  
     Powder of projection (Alchemy.), a certain powder cast into
        a crucible or other vessel containing prepared metal or
        other matter which is to be thereby transmuted into gold.
        
  
     Projection of a point on a plane (Descriptive Geom.), the
        foot of a perpendicular to the plane drawn through the

        of the plane connecting the feet of the perpendiculars let
        fall from the extremities of the given line.
