Excerpt from Graphics or the Art of Calculation by Drawing Lines, Vol. 1: Applied Especially to Mechanical Engineering With an Atlas of Diagrams

On reference to Chapter IL, it will be seen that the whole subject is divided into eight heads. Of these, only two - namely, Arithmetic and Statics - have been dealt with in previous books on Graphics. The introduction of Algebra and Trigonometry treated graphically is a novelty. It is hoped these chapters will be found interesting and useful, but it has not been deemed desirable to devote very much space to them. A good deal also of Chapter III., on graph-arithmetic, is believed to be now for the first time published. The Kinematics of Rigid Bar Mechanisms was first dealt with on the present system in a paper by the author, written in 1884, and read before the Royal Society of Edinburgh in January 1885.
