Abstract
An interesting recent paper in Nature explores a new method to construct solid bodies rolling along given curves on an inclined plane, based on the Gauss Theorem. The present article complements those examinations with rigorous existence theorems and connections to seemingly unrelated questions like maritime rescue operations.
