Página 31 - DIVISION BY LOGARITHMS. RULE. From the logarithm of the dividend subtract the logarithm of the divisor, and the number answering to the remainder will be the quotient required.
Página 87 - On the line of lines make the lateral distance 10, a transverse distance between 8 on one leg, and 6 on the other leg. On the line of sines make the lateral distance 90, a transverse distance from 45 to 45 ; or from 40 to 50 ; or from 30 to 60 ; or from the sine of any degree to their complement.
