In a previous paper ZAMM 92 (9), 731–748 (2012), some properties of closed planar motions were investigated. The focus was on three aspects: the area enclosed by the paths of points, the polar moment of inertia and the natural average of a path. These three mathematical objects were shown to be interrelated. For reasons of completeness, the authors now add some historical references which relate the problem considered to that of mechanical integrators eg. polarplanimeter.
