We consider ruled and quadric surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space which are of coordinate finite type with respect to the third fundamental form III, i.e., their position vector \boldsymbolx satisfies the relation ΔIII\boldsymbolx=\varLambda \boldsymbolx where \varLambda is a square matrix of order 3. We show that helicoids and spheres are the only surfaces in E3 satisfying the preceding relation.
