Extract

Let M be a C∞ manifold smoothly embedded as a convex hypersurface of Euclidean n-space n. M has constant width if the distance between each pair of parallel supporting hyperplanes in n is equal. This is equivalent to the condition that any chord of M normal to M at one end-point be normal to M at both end-points.
