Wikipedia
When a parabola is rolled along a straight line, the roulette curve traced by its focus is a catenary.
The envelope of the directrix of the parabola is also a catenary.
The involute from the vertex, that is the roulette formed traced by a point starting at the vertex when a line is rolled on a catenary, is the tractrix.
