Let S be a non parabolic line congruence in E3, whose middle surface P(u,v) is different from its middle envelope M(u,v). We prove that there exist two line congruences S', S'' orthogonal to S and to each other with common middle surface P(u,v) iff S is isotropic or the straight lines of S', S'' are directed by the tangent vectors of the spherical image of the S-principal ruled surfaces of S, in case S is not isotropic. Then, studying the properties of a triplet S, S', S'', we find a new geometric interpretation for the curvature of S.
