A52121	The description of a plain instrument that with much ease and exactness will discover the situation of any vertical plane, howsoever inclining, reclining, or declining and how to draw a dyal upon any such plane or upon the face of any vertical body, how irregular soever : together with several other things requisite to the art of dyaling / by A. M.	Martindale, Adam, 1623-1686.	1668 (1668)	Wing M855; ESTC R26189	6,921	19

east_n or_o west_n plane_n when_o you_o be_v take_v the_o declination_n of_o a_o plane_n if_o the_o index_n and_o counter-index_n stand_v upon_o the_o line_n e._n w._n it_o be_v a_o meridian_n plane_n who_o axis_n be_v true_a east_n or_o west_n according_a to_o the_o letter_n point_v at_o by_o the_o index_n now_o to_o draw_v a_o dyal_n on_o such_o a_o plane_n place_v the_o instrument_n horizontal_o the_o fidncial_a edge_n touch_v the_o plane_n then_o lay_v the_o thread_n upon_o all_o the_o hour-line_n and_o half-hour_n that_o the_o plane_n will_v receive_v draw_v forth_o the_o thread_n straight_o to_o the_o plane_n and_o mark_v the_o point_n where_o the_o thread_n touch_v which_o may_v be_v best_a do_v if_o the_o dyal_n stand_v close_o to_o the_o plane_n by_o help_n of_o the_o

your_o guide_n to_o draw_v the_o substyle_n which_o by_o a_o ruler_n you_o may_v extend_v at_o pleasure_n then_o remove_v your_o instrument_n a_o little_a high_o or_o low_a it_o matter_n not_o whether_o so_o that_o it_o stand_v again_o horizontal_o close_a to_o the_o plane_n and_o so_o as_o the_o plate_n will_v again_o fall_v into_o the_o substylar_a line_n mark_v point_n for_o hour_n as_o aforesaid_a by_o which_o point_n and_o the_o former_a line_n may_v be_v draw_v parallel_n to_o the_o substyle_n which_o must_v be_v mark_v with_o the_o same_o number_n with_o the_o hour_n on_o your_o dyal-plate_n that_o guide_v you_o to_o they_o but_o here_o also_o it_o be_v good_a to_o note_v diverse_a thing_n 1._o your_o style_n must_v be_v a_o pin_n with_o a_o sharp_a point_n or_o else_o a_o parallel_n plate_n set_v up_o perpendicular_o in_o the_o substyle_n just_a so_o high_a as_o may_v reach_v the_o hour-line_n of_o 9_o in_o a_o eastern_a dyal_n and_o 3_o in_o a_o western_a 2._o if_o you_o have_v the_o art_n of_o draw_v parallel_a line_n either_o geometrical_o or_o by_o help_n of_o the_o plate_n which_o will_v supply_v the_o place_n of_o a_o square_a you_o may_v spare_v the_o second_o application_n of_o the_o instrument_n to_o the_o plane_n 3._o if_o the_o plane_n be_v high_a and_o inconvenient_a for_o the_o fix_v of_o your_o instrument_n close_o to_o it_o you_o may_v pin_v a_o pasteboard_n or_o paper_n upon_o any_o wall_n as_o if_o that_o be_v a_o true_a meridian_n wall_n and_o draw_v a_o dyal_n upon_o it_o have_v first_o observe_v in_o the_o fix_v of_o your_o instrument_n that_o the_o index_n stand_v as_o it_o do_v when_o you_o take_v the_o declination_n and_o the_o fiducial_a edge_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o plane_n then_o strike_v a_o perpendicular_a or_o horizontal_a line_n quite_o through_o your_o paper_n draw_v the_o like_a line_n upon_o the_o plane_n where_o the_o dyal_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o place_v the_o perpendicular_a or_o horizontal_a line_n which_o be_v on_o the_o pasteboard_n or_o paper_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v draw_v on_o the_o plane_n you_o may_v prick_v two_o point_n through_o every_o line_n in_o the_o paper_n and_o thereby_o draw_v they_o upon_o the_o plane_n 4._o if_o you_o will_v make_v a_o large_a dyal_n than_o the_o instrument_n set_v close_o will_v give_v you_o you_o may_v do_v it_o by_o set_v the_o instrument_n further_o off_o but_o than_o if_o you_o know_v not_o how_o to_o draw_v parallel_a line_n without_o a_o second_o application_n of_o the_o instrument_n you_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o set_v it_o just_a at_o the_o same_o distance_n from_o the_o plane_n at_o both_o application_n to_o which_o purpose_n it_o will_v be_v convenient_a to_o interpose_v a_o parallel_n piece_n of_o wood_n true_o wrought_v but_o to_o make_v a_o less_o dyal_n of_o this_o sort_n you_o must_v have_v a_o less_o instrument_n or_o else_o by_o take_v the_o dyal_n off_o the_o basis_n you_o may_v apply_v it_o close_o or_o make_v use_n of_o a_o small_a horizontal_a dyal_n which_o indeed_o will_v do_v this_o work_n and_o some_o of_o the_o other_o as_o well_o as_o the_o instrument_n 5._o the_o line_n of_o vi_o and_o the_o substyle_n be_v the_o same_o 6._o you_o may_v make_v the_o dyal_n of_o what_o shape_n you_o please_v as_o round_o square_a oval_a or_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o heart_n etc._n etc._n but_o a_o long_a square_n be_v most_o usual_a nor_o do_v it_o matter_n how_o long_o or_o short_a the_o hour-line_n be_v provide_v they_o run_v straight_o on_o so_o far_o as_o they_o go_v 12._o to_o draw_v a_o horizontal_n dyal_n upon_o its_o own_o plane_n this_o be_v so_o easy_a that_o i_o think_v to_o have_v omit_v it_o for_o if_o you_o place_v the_o instrument_n upon_o it_o and_o turn_v the_o dyal_n to_o the_o true_a hour_n of_o the_o day_n there_o fix_v it_o the_o thread_n lay_v upon_o the_o several_a hour_n half_a hour_n and_o quarter_n will_v transfer_v they_o to_o the_o plane_n and_o line_n draw_v from_o the_o opposite_a hour_n of_o the_o same_o number_n will_v meet_v in_o the_o centre_n and_o the_o gnomon_n of_o the_o dyal_n give_v the_o pattern_n of_o the_o gnomon_n of_o the_o other_o which_o must_v be_v place_v in_o the_o meridian_n line_n which_o i_o show_v before_o how_o to_o draw_v to_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o new_a dyal_n the_o instrument_n may_v be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o draw_v of_o reflect_v dial_n and_o many_o other_o curiosity_n but_o the_o performance_n presuppose_v more_o skill_n than_o i_o can_v presume_v to_o be_v in_o they_o for_o who_o this_o contrivance_n be_v principal_o intend_v if_o any_o one_o desire_n to_o be_v furnish_v with_o the_o instrument_n herein_o describe_v he_o may_v make_v use_n of_o mr._n edward_n fage_n in_o hosier-lane_n at_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o sugar-loaf_n mathematical_a instrument-maker_n or_o mr._n william_n newton_n of_o fulshaw_n live_v in_o manchester_n in_o lancashire_n who_o will_v make_v it_o either_o in_o brass_n or_o wood_n exact_o and_o at_o a_o reasonable_a rate_n any_o that_o have_v but_o so_o much_o or_o rather_o little_a skill_n in_o geometry_n as_o to_o measure_v angle_n he_o may_v make_v use_n of_o a_o horizontal_a dyal_n only_o with_o a_o thread_n at_o the_o centre_n finis_fw-la
