“This is an extract of material from Henrion’s 1623 work, Mémoires mathématiques. It discusses the construction and use of a number of different scales illustrated in a folding plate. These include a logarithmic scale, tangents, sines and several that are usually found on sectors: lines of polygons, metals, etc. There is also a complex chart of angular grids to be used with some of the problems” (Tomash & Williams).
