Abstract
One of the essential characteristics of bodies of constant width is that, like balls, they have a diameter in every direction. Diameters are those chords of a convex body that have maximum length, and it is their behavior which gives constant width bodies their basic properties. Unlike the diameters of a ball, those of a body of constant width do not always meet at a single point, but when they do so, it is because the body is indeed a ball.
