centre of friction
centre of friction n. Obsolete rare (a) the point at which the sum total of the frictional forces acting upon a system of bodies revolving around a fixed point can be considered to act; (b) the point on the base of a revolving object at which the object would lose the same amount of angular velocity due to friction were it a point mass.The sense defined in quot. 1885, which was also included in N.E.D. (1889), appears to result from a misunderstanding of sense (b).
