OP Ah! How interesting. I just read that the two shapes do overlap in how they're used. In AHD, there is one definition of helix that is rather comical if you're thinking about any possible differences between the two similar shapes. That definition is that the helix is the volute of a Corinthian column. I found that amusing and hope you will, too.
