[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00061.] Let \(S\) be a surface in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space. For a given rectilinear congruence \(\Gamma\) on \(S\) we define a curve of \(S\) to be an \(R\)-curve, if each rectifying plane at each point \(P\) contains the ray of the rectilinear congruence \(\Gamma\) through \(P\). If the surface \(S\) is given by \(x=x(u,v)\), where \((u,v)\) is an orthogonal system, the author considers the rectilinear congruence \(\overline\Gamma\) defined by the intersections of the rectifying planes of the parametric curves. In this paper the author finds a necessary and sufficient condition, so that the \(R\)-curves of \(\overline\Gamma\) cut the parametric curves under a constant angle.
