The cylinder is not cut at all, but defined according to the length of 
the straight rail piece, with equal y and z coordinates respectively at 
beginning and end, so there is no distortion. The torus is defined in 
default position, i. e. parallel to the x-z plane and cut by two boxes 
rotated only around the y axis, so the cut planes are always circles, 
not ellipses!

See you in Khyberspace!
