Comparison between toroidal and conic surfaces that best fit an off-axis conic section.
A mathematical treatment is developed to establish the difference in the sagitta between toroidal and off-axis conic surfaces. The best fit betwen these surfaces is found by optimizing the curvatures of the toroid, and a comparison is made between these results and those obtained previously.
