The object which the author proposes to accomplish in the construction of this machine, is to determine mechanically the products, quotients, logarithms, squares, and other powers of the natural numbers, by means of combinations of greater simplicity than have hitherto been applied to the purposes of mechanical calculation. The paper is accompanied by a figure illustrating the principle of the machine, but not representing the mechanical details of its construction. An outline is then given of the essential parts of the instrument, and of the theory of their operation.
