ANSWER TO PRACTICAL PROBLEM.

MESSRS. EDITORS;--I submit the following solution of "Practical

Problem" on page 147:

Given AB, arm, C, arm, D, chord of half angle of oscillation of arm,

D, and angles of arms, with line AB.

To find angles, BAc', ABb, and length of link, E.

1. As the length of arm, D, is to the chord of arc, ab, divided by

2, so is the radius to the sine angle oscillation of arm, D, divided

by 4.

2. 360 deg. is to the whole circumference as the angle bBa is to the

length of arc ab.
