Side 16 - EXAMPLE. If the diameter of a circle be 7 inches, and the circumference 22, what is the circumference of another circle, the diameter of which is 14 inches ? Extend from 7 to 22, that extent will reach from 14 to 44 the same way.
Side 34 - Horizon decreafes ; confequently, the latitude of a place is always equal to the elevation of the pole above the Horizon.
Side 17 - ... degrees of the quadrant, begins at the right hand against 90° on the sines, and from thence is numbered towards the left hand thus : 10, 20...
Side 10 - C, it will become a line of versed sines, which may be continued to 180°, if the same divisions be transferred on the same line on the other side of the centre C. 6thly. From the centre C, through the several divisions of the quadrant BD, draw right lines till they cut the tangent ВТ; so will the line ВТ become a line of tangents.
