Surprise is expressed by Photographic
contemporary that celluloid is not EN-.
ployed for the production of mathemati
cal scales Really good engineers OF
other scales in ivory are rather expensive
yet with celluloid, when once an accurate
negative was taken, series of transpar.
ances could be produced at a very low
cost. capable of being attached to ivory,
ebony, boxwood, etc, as the case might
be. and the production of an intricate
and elaborate scale would in practice be
no more difficult than simple open di-
vided scale with the usual eighths, quar-
ters. etc. For calculating scales, slide
rules, ETC., it would be equally applicable,
and seeing that the original scale might
be made on paper of large sire there is
no limit to the accuracy and variety Of
matter that might be included. AS to
exactitude, the finest details would rival
those done by the most accurate dividing
