Recreations in science and natural philosophy
Recreations in science and natural philosophy is a London mathematical and scientific puzzle compendium published by Thomas Tegg in 1844, compiled from the work of Ozanam, Montucla, Hutton and Riddle for general readers seeking home experiments. The pictures are small geometric and diagrammatic plates: a wheel with lettered spokes and pins radiating outward, a circle with intersecting chords, numbered sectors of coin-like discs, and a radial fan of lines with a compass axis, useful to a designer for technical line diagrams and labelled schematics.
