48. Cardan's Spur Wheel

[i]A circular disc rolls along the inside edge of a circle with double its radius. What is the locus of an arbitrary point on the face of the disc?[/i] Interactive worksheet. _______ This is problem #48 of Heinrich Dorrie's [i]100 Great Problems of Elementary Mathematics.[/i] Note: GGB does not acknowledge Locus[] for P, given by the moving point. I tried three ways with no luck. If you know why, please drop me a line. I'm stumped.
