VERNON BOYS, A.R.S.M., Demonstrator oj’ Pliysics in the Normal School of Science, South Kensington“. [Plates II., 111.1 WHEN in February of this year I described my first inte- grating-machinet before the Physical Society, I felt that, unless the tangent principle could be so applied as to admit of an indefinite growth of the integral, such principle would be useless for practical purposes. In that machine the integral is, determined b,y the position of a cart, and so is limited by ‘the size of the apparatus. Since that time I have devised a variety of methods of applying the tangent prin- ciple in which the integral is determined by rotation, and so there is no limit to the extent to which the integral may grow. parts, I have In the following paper, which is divided into two girltin in th6 first a description of a variety of integrating- machines, while in the second are some useful applications of the most simple form of integrator described in Part I.
