A77649 The description and use of the carpenters-rule: together with the use of the line of numbers (inscribed thereon) in arithmetick and geometry. And the application thereof to the measuring of superficies and solids, gaging of vessels, military orders, interest and annuities: with tables of reduction, &c. : To which is added, the use of a (portable) geometrical sun-dial, with a nocturnal on the backside, for the exact and ready finding the hour of the day and night: and other mathematical conclusions. Also of a universal-dial for the use of seamen or others. With the use of a sliding or glasiers-rule and Mr. White's rule for solid measure. / Collected and fitted to the meanest capacity by J. Browne. Brown, John, philomath.; Gaywood, Richard, fl. 1650-1680. 1667 (1667) Wing B5039D; ESTC R173095 73,644 256

quadrat_fw-la as_o on_o a_o quadrant_a you_o may_v then_o move_v the_o pin_n to_o the_o hole_n at_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o horizontal_a line_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o defect_n to_o

find_v unaccessable_a height_n by_o the_o quadrat_fw-la at_o two_o observation_n if_o the_o place_n which_o be_v to_o be_v measure_v can_v be_v approach_v unto_o then_o work_v thus_o to_o find_v both_o height_n and_o distance_n first_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o place_n where_o look_v up_o i_o find_v the_o thread_n to_o fall_v on_o 50_o in_o the_o quadrat_fw-la than_o the_o distance_n will_v be_v equal_a to_o the_o height_n then_o make_v a_o mark_n at_o that_o station_n and_o go_v direct_o backward_o in_o a_o right_a line_n with_o the_o former_a distance_n and_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o second_o station_n where_o the_o thread_n may_v fall_v on_o 25_o part_n of_o right_a shadow_n than_o this_o second_o station_n be_v double_a to_o the_o height_n and_o also_o to_o the_o distance_n depart_v from_o the_o first_o station_n and_o the_o half_a therefore_o be_v the_o height_n and_o first_o distance_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o you_o can_v come_v to_o take_v such_o a_o height_n as_o 50_o and_o 25_o then_o take_v as_o you_o may_v as_o suppose_v one_o be_v at_o 25_o and_o the_o other_o at_o 20_o and_o suppose_v the_o height_n to_o be_v 100_o i_o find_v that_o as_o 25_o the_o part_n cut_v be_v to_o 50_o the_o side_n of_o the_o quadrat_fw-la so_o be_v 100_o the_o suppose_a height_n unto_o 200_o the_o distance_n and_o as_o 20_o the_o second_o station_n to_o 50_o the_o side_n of_o the_o quadrat_fw-la so_o be_v 100_o the_o suppose_a height_n unto_o 250_o the_o second_o distance_n wherefore_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o station_n shall_v seem_v to_o be_v 50_o then_o if_o in_o measure_v you_o find_v it_o to_o be_v either_o more_o or_o less_o than_o this_o proportion_n do_v hold_v as_o from_o the_o suppose_a difference_n to_o the_o measure_a difference_n so_o from_o the_o suppose_a height_n to_o the_o true_a height_n and_o from_o the_o suppose_a distance_n to_o the_o true_a distance_n and_o now_o suppose_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o station_n be_v find_v to_o be_v 30_o by_o measure_v then_o as_o 50_o the_o suppose_a difference_n to_o 30_o the_o true_a difference_n so_o be_v 100_o the_o suppose_a height_n to_o 60_o the_o true_a height_n and_o 200_o the_o suppose_a distance_n to_o 120_o the_o true_a and_o 250_o at_o the_o second_o station_n unto_o 150_o the_o distance_n the_o like_a reason_n hold_v in_o all_o other_o example_n of_o this_o kind_n and_o if_o a_o index_n with_o sight_n be_v fit_v to_o the_o centre_n it_o may_v serve_v for_o all_o other_o horizontal_a distance_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o use_n of_o the_o almanac_n prob._n 6._o have_v the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o find_v the_o day_n of_o the_o month_n for_o ever_o first_o find_v what_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o first_o of_o january_n be_v on_o which_o
