Curve-Tracer, Brearley. A semi-automatic apparatus for the 



recording of curves in any experiment in which the deflec- 

 tions of a galvanometer vary with time. Originally designed 



for obtaining recalescence curves on an open scale with 



rectangular co-ordinates. [4.] 

 Curves, Elliptic. Curves cut from a turned cone, used for 



drawing ellipses. [2. 6, 13, 15, 20, 21, 24, 27.] 

 Curves, Mathematical. Pieces of wood, celluloid, etc., cut in 



the forms of various curves for the use of draughtsmen.
