Construction of the limaçon r = 2 + cos(π – θ) with polar coordinates' origin at (x, y) = ( 1 / 2 , 0). In geometry, a limaçon or limacon / ˈ l ɪ m ə s ɒ n /, also known as a limaçon of Pascal or Pascal's Snail, is defined as a roulette curve formed by the path of a point fixed to a circle when that circle rolls around the outside of a circle of equal radius.
The inner loop is defined when + on the polar angle interval / /, and is symmetric about the polar axis. The point furthest from the pole on the inner loop has the coordinates ( a , 0 ) {\displaystyle (a,0)} , and on the polar axis, is one-third of the distance from the pole compared to the furthest point of the outer loop.
The epitrochoid with R = 3, r = 1 and d = 1/2. In geometry, an epitrochoid (/ ɛ p ɪ ˈ t r ɒ k ɔɪ d / or / ɛ p ɪ ˈ t r oʊ k ɔɪ d /) is a roulette traced by a point attached to a circle of radius r rolling around the outside of a fixed circle of radius R, where the point is at a distance d from the center of the exterior circle.

A mechanical method for constructing the arithmetic spiral uses a modified string compass, where the string wraps and winds (or unwraps/unwinds) about a fixed central pin (that does not pivot), thereby incrementing (or decrementing) the length of the radius (string) as the angle changes (the string winds around the fixed pin which does not pivot).
R = radii of fixed and rolling circles, d = distance of tracing point from rolling circle center] could not be reconsiled with the limacon equation r = a + b cos(t) Alternatively, is it possible to add a cross reference showing the dimpled Limacon as a special case of Epitrochoid? I can send the animation avi for reference if that could help.
Description: The figure-eight knot of mathematical knot theory depicted in symmetric form. The curves were generated from the polar coordinates equation r=b+sin(aθ), which is a slight generalization of the Limaçon and Rose/rhodonea curves, using parameters a=(2/3) and b=2.
