page 269 note * D’Ocagne’s abacus is of course simply the rectangular network that would be constructed as in Daniell’s Text Book of the Principles of Physics, pp. 80, 83, 84, for describing a series of ellipse traced by a point having two single harmonic motions at right angles to each other. In graduating the scales of cosines the origin is marked 90° in both cases, the number from 0° to 180° proceeding in the negative direction along each axis.
