Vol. LXV, No. 7.] ENGINEERING JOURNAL. 323 center A continue to describe arcs with radii A 3, A 4, A 5,etc., cutting the corresponding radii 3, 4, 5, etc., in the pointsc, d, e, etc. These will be points in the curve, which can thenbe drawn through Fig. 272. It is plain that a spiral of any numberof revolutions aroundits center may be drawn by continuing it outside of the circleI, 2, 3-12, by the method described.* Problem 96. To draw an approximate or false spiral. Lay off a central square abed, fig. 273. Then from </ as acenter and d A 3,s 3, radius draw the arc A e. Next with a eas a radius and o as a center draw e f.
