The author proves analyticly by direct computation two theorems of the real Euclidean \(3\)-space, firstly, one from \textit{A. Hirsch} [J. Geom. Graph. 6, No. 2, 121-132 (2002; see the review above)] and, secondly, one that dates back to \textit{J. de la Gournerie} (1863). 1. If \(\Psi\) is a surface of revolution with a conic \(m\) as meridian, then any bitangential plane intersects \(\Psi\) along a reducible curve consisting of two congruent conics which are either imaginary or of the same affine type as \(m\). 2. Let \(c\) be a conic with carrier plane \(\gamma\), suppose that \(c\) is rotated continuously about an axis \(a\) which is neither incident with \(\gamma\) nor orthogonal to \(\gamma\) and exclude that \(c\) is symmetric with respect to any plane containing \(a\). Then the swept surface \(\Phi\) has conics as meridian curves if and only if any pair of orthogonal planes through \(a\) intersects \(\gamma\) at lines which are conjugate with respect to \(c\).
