Cayley's ruled cubic surface

In differential geometry, Cayley's ruled cubic surface is the ruled cubic surface

${\displaystyle x^{3}+(4x\,z+y)x=0.\ }$

It contains a nodal line of self-intersection and two cuspital points at infinity.^[1]

In projective coordinates it is ${\displaystyle x^{3}+(4x\,z+y\,w)x=0.\ }$.
