69. Military Architect's Rule

c. 1700

  Fig. 94          Fig. 95

An ivory rule, smaller than catalogue no. 68, but very similar in content. In fact the rule, protractor, fortification diagrams and tables are all equivalent, and similarly disposed between 'INTRORSUM' and 'EXTRORSUM', except that this rule has an additional diagram with an accompanying key marked: 'Pro Alis Fortificandis', giving the names of the various parts in French and, in one case, the function: 'Triangle qui couwa les Canons Cachè.'
