In Coolidge, , A treatise on algebraic plane curves (Oxford, 1931), 221–2,Google Scholar a special case of the problem dealt with below is considered.

For example, a curve branch in three dimensions in its simplest form is given by equations of the type x = tρ, y = t σP, z = t τQ (P, Q being power series in t, not vanishing at t = 0). But any plane projection of this branch (except from the points at infinity on the axes of y or z) has the general form (2) above.
