HOMOCENTRIC

, the same as Concentric.

HOMODROMUS Vectis, or Lever, in Mechanics, is a lever in which the weight and power are both on the same side of the fulcrum, as in the lever of the 2d and 3d kind; being so called because here the weight and power move both in the same direction, whereas in the Heterodromus they move in opposite directions.
