A surface S of constant width is the boundary of a convex set K of constant width in euclidean 3-dimensional space E3. (See [l] pp. 127–139. )

Our first result concerns the interdependence of five properties which a curve on such a surface may possess. Let S be a surface of constant width D > 0 which satisfies the smoothness condition that it be a 2-dimensional submanifold of E3 of class C2.
