  In this paper we give the projective generation of congruences of order 1 of
r-dimensional projective spaces in P^N from their focal loci. In a natural way,
this construction shows that the corresponding surfaces in the grassmannian are
the Veronese surface, and rational ruled surfaces eventually with
singularities. We characterize when these surfaces are smooth, recovering and
generalizing a Ziv Ran's result.
