Cayley surface
From HandWiki
An algebraic ruled surface which is a translation surface with an $\infty^1$ translation net. Its equation in Cartesian coordinates is
$$x^3-6xy+6z=0.$$
The surface is named after A. Cayley [1], who considered it as a geometrical illustration of his investigations in the theory of pencils of binary quadratic forms.
