Solids of constant width (www.howround.com)

The width of a smooth shape is the distance between parallel tangents. When a shape is not smooth we must talk about parallel support lines  instead. If we have a circle then the width is constant. If the width is constant, then is the shape a circle? These solids have constant width.  More information is available from www.howround.com
