These show, better than any worded descrij)-tion, that the interradials are attached in tlie manner which I liave repre-sented, and are not drawn out from a common apex or jjoint. According to my view, the position of the first line spun is indicatedby the dotted line (AA, Fig. 172). Afterward the first radius (Ir) wasformed by attaching that line to AA, thus drawing it up until it assumedthe position of Aa, Aa. To this again were successively fastened the lines2r and or, which completed the radial framework, ready for inserting thespirals. So also, at Fig. 173, one sees the same order of progress as shmvnby the num
