Osculating primes to curves of intersection in 4-space, and to certain curves in n-space

Extract
An irreducible curve in S4, projective 4-space, may arise as the complete intersection of three given irreducible threefolds. At a simple point P on such a curve there is an osculating solid, and we would like to have its equation. This solid, necessarily containing the tangent line to the curve at P, belongs to the net spanned by the tangent solids at P to the threefolds. We seek the appropriate linear combination of the known equations for these tangent solids.
