Kokotsakis proved that an infinite planar mesh composed of congruent convex, non-trapezoidal, non-parallelogramic quadrilaterals is deformable with degree of freedom 1 in two modes if the quadrilaterals are rigid and if the edges are revolute joints. Stachel proved that in the deformed state the vertices of all quadrilaterals are located on a circular cylinder the radius of which is a free parameter. In other words: A Kokotsakis mesh forms two polyhedral cylinders which are deformable with degree of freedom one. Later, Stachel also investigated under which conditions a polyhedral cylinder is tiled by quadrilaterals. In the present paper new proofs and new results are obtained by using special parameters for quadrilaterals in combination with cylinder coordinates.
