In due course, Saljé compiled later their works into a private report [10],
which consists of the following.

1. A firsthand view of the research works into the functional description
with dimensional analysis
2. Methods to distinguish the kind of form-generating motion using the
appropriate subscripts
3. A CAD system for the basic layout drawing of the guideway structure
with the association of the catalog of modular type for guideways

He exemplified a total view of description for some quinaxial-controlled
milling machines, as shown in Fig. 4-14. More specifically, each item can
be detailed as follows.

1. The machining space can be determined on the basis of the functional
description together with direct consideration of the dimensional
