It is interesting that a 1: 1 correspondence can be established between the lines of two such pencils, so that in a sense a unique image can actually be assigned to each tangent.
A final class of exceptional lines is identifiable from the following considerations: Since no two generators of Af can intersect, it follows that their image curves can have no free intersections.
Since two curves of symbol Af on Q intersect in Af points, it follows that there are Af lines of Af which are tangent to Aj.
In the second, the fixed elements are the lines which join the vertex, P, to the two intersections of **zg and the plane of the pencil which do not lie on the multiple secant.
For if such were the case, either the plane of the two lines would meet **zg in more than K points or, alternatively, the order of the image regulus of the pencil determined by the two lines would be too high.
But if no two lines of the regulus of multiple secants of **zg can intersect, then the regulus must be quadratic, or in other words, **zg must be either a Af or a Af curve on a nonsingular quadric surface.
Continuing with the case in which **zg is a Af curve on a quadric Q, we first observe that the second regulus of Q consists precisely of the lines which join the two free intersections of **zg and the planes through any one of the multiple secants.
For each of these lines meets Q in three points, namely two points on **zg and one point on one of the multiple secants.
