Description
Diagrams illustrating a problem and solution proposed by Renatus Franciscus Slusius: in the semicricle AGB, whose centre is C, to inflect a straight line GF from the given point G so that the two perpendiculars, FH on AB, and CE on FG, have a given ratio to each other (as translated in Correspondence of Henry Oldenburg, vol. 7, p. 118).
These diagrams are copied in LBO/4/049 and LBC/4/064-065.
