The description and use of the carpenters-rule: together with the use of the line of numbers (inscribed thereon) in arithmetick and geometry. And the application thereof to the measuring of superficies and solids, gaging of vessels, military orders, interest and annuities: with tables of reduction, &c. : To which is added, the use of a (portable) geometrical sun-dial, with a nocturnal on the backside, for the exact and ready finding the hour of the day and night: and other mathematical conclusions. Also of a universal-dial for the use of seamen or others. With the use of a sliding or glasiers-rule and Mr. White's rule for solid measure. / Collected and fitted to the meanest capacity by J. Browne.

Two Examples of every measure.

A pint measure 2 Inches and ½ Di∣ameter, ought to be 6 Inches 95 parts deep.

And at 2 Inches 3 quarters over 5. 75 deep.

A quart measure 3 Inches diam. ought to be 9 Inches and 63 parts deep.

And at 3 Inches 3 quarters Diam. 6-15 parts deep.

A Pottle-measure 4 inches Diame∣ter, ought to be 10 Inches 82 parts deep.

And at 5 ½ Inches Diameter, 5.73 Inches deep.

A Gallon or half Peck 6 ½ broad, ought to be 8-19 deep, at 9 Inch Broad 4-26 deep.

A Peck 13 Inches broad or Dia∣meter, ought to be 6-94 deep, and at 12 Inches broad 4-82 deep.

A half Bushell 13 Inches broad must be 8-23. but at 16 Inches broad but 5-42. deep.

A Corn-Bushell of 17 Inches broad, ought to be 9-62 deep, but of 21 Inches broad 6-29. But for Sea-cole measures take the next num∣ber forwards toward the beginning, as suppose a Cole-bushell be 18 ½ broad on the inside, the Rule saith it ought to be 8-12, but you may take 8-33 the number next toward the begin∣ing viz. 8-33 because a Corn-Bush∣el ought to hold a quart more then a Corn Bushel of water; and the Di∣ameter from out-side to out-side ought to be 19 Inches and ½, the half bushel 14-½, the Peck 11 ½, the half Peck 9 ½ to make the heap to bear a proportion to the fats.
