“Attach a ball, for instance, to a cord; and , fastening the end of the cord at a point, O, give a quick impulse to the ball. It will be found to move in a circle, ABCD, because the cord keeps it within a certain distance of the centre (sic). Were it not for this, it would move in a straight line.” —Quackenbos 1859
