    I like it.

    Your method gives a more rounded arc.

    So, you too are deserving of a certificate.
    Rik, thank you. I read more into your "exactly the same" part.

    In passing, constant breadth rotors are use in pumps, GB 20 & 50p coins, Canadian Dollar ("loonie"), Wankel engines and for cutting square holes!
