measured parallel to the axis of the helix.

A double helix consists of two (typically congruent) helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis.

A circular helix (i.e. one with constant radius) has constant band curvature and constant torsion. The slope of a circular helix is commonly defined as the ratio of the circumference of the circular cylinder that it spirals
