Bianchi transformation

The transition from one focal surface $S$ of a Bianchi congruence to the other focal surface $S'$ of the same congruence (cf. Bianchi congruence). If $S$ is a pseudo-sphere then $S'$ also is a pseudo-sphere. The pseudo-spheres $S'$ which are Bianchi transforms of $S$ are orthogonal trajectories of the following congruence of circles. They are situated in the tangent plane to $S$ and have the same radius as $S$.
