     1. Done or occurring in an instant, or without any
        perceptible duration of time; as, the passage of
        electricity appears to be instantaneous.

        [1913 Webster]
  
     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
