Ita tontem de deteximus artificii mirabilis catserte subdibide
pro instrumentis Mathematicis, quod consistit in curtore subdividente. Idque
reperimus a priori, cum non succ urreret quae vera esset talis cursoris constructio
Nam vulgo rem ita accipiunt, quasi sic divideretur subdivisio similis esset divisioni
seu quasi totum (ex empli causa) divisum in partes 60, divide retur pursus in partes 60
adeoque minuta dividerentur in secundas quasi fieret 60.60 sed revera fit . 6
licet discricren non sit magnum. q Hinc porro apparet div discrimen inter divisores
percus cursorem, et divisionem ordinariam in secundas; fore davere dut si jam
6060 60.61
daretur exhibiturum divisionem quasi in tertias; nam proditarum
Item si in curgore sit idmplex divisio, una in partes su, altera in partes 61
60.60.61
59.60
60161
.Ne quid
Hoc artificium praeclarum inprimis usum habiturum esset pat Orguno Logaristimo
jam de cursore cursoris dicatur
ero Logarithmotomico instrumento; ubi jum tum curvore est opus pqui praeter suas divi
duplica jam tum Cursore in alios usus instracto aliam ob causam instructo ubi tantum
hanc peculiarem no divisionem in ipsa acie vel margine accedere conveniret, praesertim cum in eo
Qqodsi proderit
numeris non sit opus utrobique sed syfficiant vel in regula vel in cursore.
clidem maximos habet it usus in omni subdivisione ad ma etiam ad pro instrumentis
e Astronomicis; imo pro Horologiis vulgaribus, ut fiat subdivisio sine pecultari
rota, numerarique ictus possint,  in horologio ad eam rem nom initio non adaptato.
Cogitavi etiam an non ultra rectam et circulum hujusque divisiones utilis
futura sit Helix cotindiica; tum pro Logarithme omio tum et in universum
pro subdivisione rectae lineae incylindio ductae cursore jam porro ad cylindricam helicem
applicato ita errim duplex subtilitatis ratio concorreret ab helice, et a cursore
Nec dubitem hac arte pedem ulnam seu bipedate, spetium longitudinem in
exaginta partium millia dividi posse
