It is, then, absolutely necessary to make this modification in the general formula, in order to apply it in determining the rotations of any wheel of an epicyclic train whose axis is not parallel to that of the sun-wheels.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "epicyclic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
