The twosheets are then placed with the points A and B coinciding with thecenters of the whirls (Fig. 20), and turned to produce coincidenceof the points M -and N on the sheets. On a third underlying sheetof tracing paper the points M and R are marked by pricking with apin, and the resultant force MR is then constructed ~. Fig. 20
