Statement (I): Two  non-intersecting and non-parallel, i.e., non-coplanar, shafts connected by gears are called skew-bevel gears or spiral gears, and this type of gearing has a line contact the rotation of which about the axes generates the two hyperboloid pitch surfaces. Statement (II): A hyperboloid is a 3D surface formed by revolving a straight line about an axis (not in the same plane), such that every point on the line remains at a constant distance from the axis.
