Let \(A_i\) \((i=1,\dots ,n+2)\) be \(n+2\) points of the projective space \(P^n\), no \(n+1\) of which are coplanar, and let \(A^0_i\) \((i=1,\dots ,n+2)\) be \(n+2\) general position points on an \((n-k)\)-dimensional plane \(P^{n-k}\subset P^n\). The first set of points is called the original set, and the second set is called the model. A fundamental problem of axonometry is as follows: Can we find a center of projection such that the image of the original set, under the projection of this center onto a line, is projective to the model? For the case of projecting the space \(P^n\) onto \(P^{n-1}\subset P^n\), the problem was solved by \textit{N. M. Beskin} [|Sb. Nauchn. Tr. Yarosl. Gos. Pedagog. Inst. Im. K. D. Ushinskogo 215, 12-15 (1985; Zbl 0653.51003)]. In the article under review, the author studies a set of points that can serve as a center of projection for the case of projecting the space \(P^n\) onto \(P^{n-2}\).
